What is known about Russian nuclear deterrence policy
https://tass.com/politics/1874647
All versions of the military doctrine [from 2000, 2010, and 2014] emphasize that Russia can use nuclear weapons in retaliation for the use of weapons of mass destruction against Russia and its allies. In addition, nuclear weapons can be used if “aggression with ordinary weapons” against Russia poses a threat “to the very existence of the state.” This threat may arise, in particular, in the event of direct military involvement of NATO countries in the conflict. Since 2010, Russia has included the military and political strengthening of NATO in the main military threats section of its military doctrine.

According to the latest version of the document, published on November 19, 2024, the core principle remains the same: nuclear weapons are a last resort to ensure the protection of the country's sovereignty. At the same time, parameters have been added that allow the use of nuclear weapons in case of new military threats and risks for Russia.In particular, the document expanded the category of countries and military alliances that would be subject to nuclear deterrence. For example, the aggression of any non-nuclear state acting with the participation or support of a nuclear state will be considered a joint attack on Russia. In addition, the document expands the list of military threats that require such actions. Russia can respond with nuclear force if it perceives a critical threat to its sovereignty even with an ordinary weapon, as well as in case of an attack on Belarus as a member of the Union State, in case of receiving credible information about a massive attack of a group of military jets, cruise missiles, drones and other UAVs crossing the Russian state border.
Putin approves Russia’s revised nuclear doctrine

The fundamental principle of the doctrine is that the use of nuclear weapons is a measure of last resort to protect the country’s sovereignty
"A top US government codebreaker who decrypted secret Soviet communications during the Cold War concluded that Ethel Rosenberg knew about her husband's activities but 'did not engage in the work herself,' according to a recently declassified memo that her sons say proves their mother was not a spy and should lead to her exoneration in the sensational 1950s atomic espionage case."
Julius Rosenberg gave Manhattan Project nuclear secrets to the Soviets, starting in 1942 and ending ending with his and Ethel Rosenberg's arrest in 1951. Both were executed on June 19, 1953. I thought my whole life Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were both involved in the espionage, but that might be wrong.

July 9 - World Beyond War Peace Almanac
On this day in 1955, Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell and seven other scientists warned that a choice must be made between war and human survival. Distinguished scientists the world over, including Max Born of Germany, and French Communist Frederic Joliot-Curie, joined Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell in an attempt to abolish war. The Manifesto, the last document Einstein signed before his death, read: “In view of the fact that in any future world war nuclear weapons will certainly be employed, and that such weapons threaten the continued existence of mankind, we urge the governments of the world to realize, and to acknowledge publicly, that their purpose cannot be furthered by a world war, and we urge them, consequently, to find peaceful means for the settlement of all matters of dispute between them.” Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara expressed his own fear that a nuclear catastrophe was inevitable unless nuclear arsenals were dismantled, noting: “The average U.S. warhead has a destructive power 20 times that of the Hiroshima bomb. Of the 8,000 active or operational U.S. warheads, 2,000 are on hair-trigger alert…The U.S. has never endorsed the policy of ‘no first use,’ not during my seven years as secretary or since. We have been and remain prepared to initiate the use of nuclear weapons–by the decision of one person, the president….the president is prepared to make a decision within 20 minutes that could launch one of the most devastating weapons in the world. To declare war requires an act of Congress, but to launch a nuclear holocaust requires 20 minutes’ deliberation by the president and his advisors.”

Newly Resurfaced Video: Itamar #Ben-Gvir, Israeli Minister of National Security, protests & harasses Mordechai #Vanunu, calling him a "traitor" in front of TV cameras in 2004.
Who is Mordechai Vanunu? He is a former Israeli #nuclear technician who took photographs of israel's #Dimona nuclear reactor that were published in The Sunday Times of London in 1986. He also divulged other details proving the existence of israel's illegal nuclear weapons program. From the information he provided, experts were able to estimate that Israel has the world's 6th largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. Vanunu was later drugged & kidnapped by the #Mossad (in Greece) and spent about 20 years in solitary confinement. To this day, he's still not free. He can't leave Israel & he's not allowed to talk to foreigners.
Who was Itamar Ben-Gvir? Besides being the israeli Minister of National Security who presided over the events of October 7th (which many people suspect now to have been partly an inside job) he's a devout follower & fan of the jewish terrorist & mass murderer, Baruch Goldstein. Ben-Gvir & his wife-to-be visited the grave of #Goldstein on their first date. They hung a picture of Goldstein on the wall of their living room for several decades. Baruch Goldstein is their hero.
Who was Baruch Goldstein? He was a jewish #terrorist who, in 1994, dressed up in an israeli military uniform, entered a room in the Cave of the Patriarchs that was serving as a #mosque, & opened fire on 800 Palestinian Muslim worshippers who were kneeling in prayer. He killed 29 of them & wounded 125 more.
So who is Itamar Ben-Gvir? He's the man who idolizes the terrorist Baruch Goldstein who massacred innocent Palestinians, & villainizes the hero Mordechai Vanunu who exposed israel's illicit & illegal nuclear program to the world--a program that JFK was trying desperately to stop before he was assassinated. Ben-Gvir is the man running national security for the state of israel--which is holding the world hostage with its illegal nuclear weapons.
Christian zionists support this lunatic terrorist who's helping to hold the world hostage with israel's nuclear Samson option, while he continues the massacre of innocent Palestinians on a scale his terrorist hero Baruch Goldstein could only dream of.

It is the Empire's fault, it is the United States of America's fault. We have abrogated every treaty regime pertinent to nuclear weapons. We did it. We even caused the last and ultimate one - new start - to not be looked on favorably for renewal by Moscow because of our actions in Ukraine. So we have abated every single protective treaty environment that we painstakingly crafted over the many years of the Cold War. Nuclear weapons are free to roam.

Oppenheimer’s Apology to A-Bomb Survivors Revealed in New Footage

According to Teichler, Oppenheimer was visibly emotional during the meeting. “He already had tears streaming down his face and he repeatedly said ‘I’m sorry’,” she recalls.
Second stage of tactical nuclear drills kicks off in Russia — top brass
A ranking member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday proposed the idea of redeploying U.S. tactical nuclear arms to South Korea to beef up deterrence, noting the absence of any immediate diplomatic solution to North Korea's nuclear quandary.
Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) made the proposal in a report, titled "21st Century Peace Through Strength: A Generational Investment in the U.S. Military," in which he stressed Pyongyang continues to "outpace expectations" about its nuclear and missile programs with capabilities to target the continental United States.
"Because there is no immediate diplomatic solution in sight, the United States must ensure that deterrence does not erode on the Korean Peninsula," the senator said in the report.
"That means maintaining readiness with regular U.S.-Republic of Korea military exercises, keeping a persistent U.S. military presence on the Korean Peninsula and exploring new options -- such as nuclear-sharing agreements in the Indo-Pacific and redeployment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula -- to bolster deterrence on the Korean Peninsula," he added.

Iranian commander warns Tehran could review its 'nuclear doctrine' amid Israeli threats
"A review of our nuclear doctrine and politics as well as considerations previously communicated is entirely possible," Ahmad Haghtalab, the commander in charge of nuclear security, said according to semi-official Tasnim news agency
This is the freaking nightmare scenario that Netanyahu haa been working 24/7 to achieve.
The moment IRI decides to leave NPT and blocks the IAEA, the whole world go into an even crazier frenzy about it with Israel being the loudest, bit no one will ever mention that israel NEVER signed the #NPT. They refuse to allow IAEA inspectors in or declare how many nuclear weapons they have.
Bot to forget that Israel was caught by #IAEA helping the former south African government under apartheid regime which they volunteerly abandoned and destroyed, but no one did anything to punish the Israeli government.
