Vladimir Solovyov on his show last night called attention to the word наступательный to describe Russia's strategic nuclear weapons. That word means "offensive". So what is this all about? It means that the Russians are heading towards first strike thinking. Not a small detail!
In this connection, it is worth considering that the trouble-making political scientist Karaganov who riled Western and also Russian peers by urging on Russia use of tactical nukes in some half-assed place like Poland or Romania to sober up Western leaders and remind them of Russia's deterrence, now has come out with the statement a "nuclear war can be won."
