Quick Glance: After receiving German tanks, Vladimir Putin experiments with a nuclear war scenario.
  • Putin stated that Russia's cutting-edge nuclear weapons, including so-called tactical nuclear weapons, would only be used in self-defense.

  • Finally, this is most likely a bluff by Russia's leader to scare Western societies into fear of a nuclear war.

  • Nonetheless, despite Vladimir Putin's rebuttals, this bluff should not be the last.

  • Vladimir Putin sets the much-discussed so-called red lines for nuclear weapons use.
