Biden's Missile Authorization Sparks Nuclear Tension

News summary

International tension has escalated after President Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles, leading to strikes on Russian territory, notably in Bryansk, without causing significant damage or casualties. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a revised nuclear doctrine lowering the threshold for nuclear retaliation, potentially in response to conventional attacks supported by nuclear powers like the U.S. This development has raised global concerns over a possible nuclear escalation, with Russian officials warning that Western-backed Ukrainian attacks could prompt a nuclear response. The strikes coincide with Ukraine marking 1,000 days of conflict and highlight the geopolitical tensions as the U.S. prepares for a leadership transition with President-elect Donald Trump. Experts suggest that Putin's moves, rooted in deterrence and historical posturing, reflect an attempt to intimidate and maintain strategic ambiguity.
