In order to improve the state policy of the Russian Federation in the sphere of nuclear deterrence, the President signed Executive Order Approving the Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence.

Presidential Executive Order No. 355, dated June 2, 2020, Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence, shall be declared to be no longer in force.

This Executive Order shall come into effect on the day of its signing.

The Basic Principles represent a strategic planning document in the area of ensuring national defence and reflect the official views on the essence of nuclear deterrence, identify military risks and threats to be neutralised by means of nuclear deterrence, outline the principles of nuclear deterrence, and specify the conditions under which the Russian Federation may proceed to use nuclear weapons.

The regulatory framework for these Basic Principles includes the Constitution of the Russian Federation, universally recognised principles and norms of international law, international treaties of the Russian Federation, federal constitutional laws, federal laws and other legal acts and documents that regulate defence and security issues.

The provisions of these Basic Principles are mandatory for implementation by all federal bodies of state authority and other government bodies and organisations involved in ensuring nuclear deterrence.

These Basic Principles may be further specified depending on the external and internal factors that influence defence implementation.

Overall guidance of state policy in the area of nuclear deterrence is carried out by the President of the Russian Federation.

As far as I understand, this is the last step before the highest level of escalation of the conflict. The next step will be nuclear missiles flying towards Russia's enemies.

Every citizen of Russia has a button to launch a nuclear missile at your house.

We will be able to find this button even in a state of extreme alcoholic intoxication.

Russian drunks are very annoyed by Western missiles hitting their wine cellars.

It really is quite the farce when you have Russia warning against "escalation" in their war against Ukraine when they are the ones who have invaded Ukraine, not once but twice (first back in 2014 in Crimea). They're the ones who have enlisted the help of tens of thousands of North Korean troops. They're the ones who are deliberately destroying civilian targets, resulting in the deaths of innocent women and children. Putin has made threats about escalation before and done nothing. This is a load of hot air and Biden and Starmer and Macron know it, which is why they've all allowed Ukraine to use their long range weapons to strike targets well inside Russia. The only thing wrong with this decision is that it wasn't made a year ago.

Why nukes when Russia has already hit energy targets in Ukraine recently, coming into winter?
