Russian expert hints at new nuclear strategy while West watches carefully

In a recent meeting at Sochi Sergei Karaganov‚ a well-known security expert shares his take on Russias nuclear-related plans; the message is clear - Moscow wants to make Western countries more aware of its power

Last fall Putin changed how Russia thinks about using its nuclear tools: he made the list of reasons longer (which shows how Moscow might use these weapons) The change came as part of a bigger plan to make Western nations think twice about their choices

Western countries dont understand the real risk of war - thats what Karaganov believes. He thinks Europe is moving towards a big-scale conflict without seeing the danger: “They have stopped being afraid of war; especially Europeans they are climbing into a third world war right before our eyes“ [[Karaganov stated during the interview]]

Russia has done several things to show its ready-to-use nuclear power:

• Changed how it deals with major weapons agreements
• Put some nuclear weapons in Belarus (next to NATO)
• Did many nuclear practice-runs
• Made new rules about when these weapons can be used

Moscow thinks the West is making things worse by giving weapons to Ukraine. They say America and its friends are using Ukraine as a tool against Russia‚ trying to make Moscow lose big-time. Putin will talk more about this at the Valdai forum - where hell answer questions about nuclear rules war and what might happen if Trump becomes president again
