Putin has made a direct threat to use nuclear weapons in response to attacks on Russian territory, and NATO has issued a response to that threat.
Putin has lost his ever-loving mind. He's putting a nuclear response on the table for conventional attacks on Russian territory. The only conceivable reason to do this NOW is to justify nuclear strikes against Ukraine if they continue attacking Russian forces in SE Ukraine.
The Director is out of town and out of communication, so it falls to me to make the decision to raise the DEFCON level or not for the next few days.
Gotta admit, that decision is a hell of a lot more stressful than I thought it would be.
Quoting: Riff-Raff What are the options? It really seems like nothing is really different from the beginning of the week, to me. Putin has been threatening nukes for some time. Has there been any major movement that is new? Idk, but I'm glad it's not my decision! Sorry for the giggle. No worries. I'm used to women laughing at me.  The difference is now he has the Russian State Duma behind him and he's calling up reservists at the same time he's making these threats. On the other hand, you're right and he's been threatening nukes for months now without following through. Having a staff meeting now.
