“In the same spirit as Russia saying they won’t be the first to use nuclear weapons in a war. 100% true they will never be the first.”
They don’t need to...they’ve got more than enough conventional weapons to win against anyone at this time (things may change with China, though). We’re pretty much cleaned out, thanks to the Neocon War in Ukraine. And the rest of the world never hand any.
Also, it is the UNITED STATES that won’t join Russia on the no-first-use pledge...
I think you may have missed my whole point.
