Leaked military documents outline Russia’s doctrine for tactical nuclear weapons use, including the minimum criteria by Putin for using tactical nuclear weapons

Have you ever noticed how calm and collected Vladimir Putin is when he talks about the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine? You saw that also in the interview he gave to Tucker last month as well. Could it be that one of the reasons for is steadied demeanor is because he’s already decided what he will do should western nations join in the fight? He as much as said so in a stunning new leak regarding how Russia has already rehearsed and prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons should things escalate.

Everywhere you look, nations are swirling in turmoil and confusion, as if no one is quite sure what to do any more. In France, Emmanuel Macron is telling people there is a pretty good possibility that European troops will fight on the ground alongside Ukraine against Russia. And the president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen is telling nation states to ‘prepare for war’. All the while this is going on, Putin is sitting back like the Cheshire cat, just waiting for someone to take the bait. Will they?

Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons are designed for use on the battlefield in Europe and Asia, and have a more limited range compared to strategic nuclear weapons, which could reach the U.S.

FROM YAHOO NEWS: The 29 Russian military files, which date from between 2008 and 2014, indicate a threshold “lower than Russia has ever publicly admitted, according to experts who reviewed and verified the documents,” the FT said.

The criteria range “from an enemy incursion on Russian territory to more specific triggers, such as the destruction of 20% of Russia’s strategic ballistic missile submarines,” the FT said.

The destruction of three or more large surface warships, three airfields, 30% of its nuclear-powered attack submarines, or a “simultaneous hit on main and reserve coastal command centers” are also listed as potential conditions for a nuclear strike.

The documents also indicate a distrust of China, despite growing ties between Moscow and Beijing. Training materials indicate that Russia’s eastern military district conducted exercises that envisaged a hypothetical attack by China.

Moscow may fear that Beijing could take advantage of its military focus toward the West, and launch an attack across the border to gain territory in Russia’s Far East, the FT said. The FT highlighted that Russia continues to conduct military exercises near China, holding exercises in June and November 2023 in regions bordering China using nuclear-capable missiles.
