Putin always said he'd use them in defense. I guess if NATO fights back he gonna push the button.

“First and foremost it is worth acknowledging that the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,” Putin said. “As for the Russian people, it became a genuine tragedy.

Biden says he is 'convinced' Putin will invade Ukraine
President Biden said Friday that he is "convinced" Russian President Vladimir Putin has made the decision to invade Ukraine, telling reporters that he believes Russia will "target the capital city of Kyev."
"As of this moment, I'm confident he has made the decision," Biden said. "We have reason to believe that."
Following two "vital calls" on Friday, one with members of Congress and the other with European leaders, Biden said the "overwhelming message on both calls was one of determination, unity, and resolve," but ultimately he believes an invasion is imminent.
Noting that "Russian troops have Ukraine surrounded," Biden said American officials believe Russia will target Ukraine's capital city Kyev.

How can you blame Putin/Russia for something NATO/US/EU had being war mongering, making the Russians as the villains or even comparing them to the Nazis? modern day Nazis?
Or even the lying media claiming that the Convoy protests are connected to Russia!? you would be seeing a very very different tone when Russia starts doing more these nuclear drills..
