"I have declared Russia outlawed forever, the bombing will begin in five minutes."
It’s interesting that on YouTube it was Ukrainian channels that celebrated the anniversary of this cute joke.
> Russia is gambling with the future of mankind.
In the 90s, the United States carried out work on creating a missile defense system. After several successful tests, in the early 2000s the United States withdrew from the ABM Treaty.
Let me remind you that the ABM Treaty was considered the cornerstone of the entire nuclear war prevention system. Equal and indivisible security of the parties was declared. Today this system of strategic treaties is dead, and the United States is busily preparing for war.

Means of delivering a disarming strike without the use of nuclear warheads, or with limited use of them.

If, after delivering a disarming strike, the enemy still has some missiles left, the missile defense system will be able to repel their strike and reduce possible damage to an acceptable level.
This is what is hidden behind the talk about Russian nuclear weapons rattling.
