Russian Diplomat: US 'limited nuclear war' excuse is extremely dangerous
Moscow considers the US argument that a nuclear war could be limited in scale to be extremely dangerous.
According to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, it seems that the decision-making group in the United States is very close to the generation of gamers and computer game addicts, who always solve the problem of using military force irresponsibly.

Previously, the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that Washington was only trying to justify its intention to equip Trident submarines with ballistic missiles with lower-yield nuclear warheads over the “fantastical threat” of Moscow's hypothetical nuclear attack on US territory.
Ryabkov stressed that the Russian Federation does not have and is not aiming to acquire technical equipment and weapons for two hypothetical scenarios under which nuclear weapons could be used.
"We consider the argument that a nuclear war can be limited to be an extremely dangerous reality, destabilizing the international situation and encouraging many countries to build their own nuclear arsenals," the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister asserted.
