Russia warns it would use 'all weapons' as nuclear rhetoric escalates

Russia keeps raising the nuclear stakes in its confrontation with NATO. Analysts mostly read it as coercion rather than a sign of imminent use, but the rhetoric and the doctrine changes are worth tracking, and the fake nuclear alerts hacked into Ukrainian and Russian apps show how easily panic can be triggered.
