Hear These Russian Warnings: They Might Save Your Life

by Rachel Douglas and Nancy Spannaus

Russia’s Gen.-Maj. Andrei Burbin, chief of the Central Command Post of the Strategic Missile Forces, said in an interview, that Russia is prepared to use its strategic nuclear weapons under conditions of attack on the country, including the much-ballyhooed U.S. Prompt Global Strike scheme for a non-nuclear attempt to destroy the Russian retaliatory capability.

Other prominent Russian officials are making a similar point.
