My issue wasn’t with the source, but with the physics defying length of the bow being drawn here. I’m far from an expert so maybe someone can correct me but I don’t understand why these articles are trying so hard to conflate a chemical weapons test with a nuclear test? They are very careful about the wording here and it seems to be implying something that’s just…not the case.
Also who’s afraid of a new arms race? Russia is being defeated with decades old weapons, what kind of race are we talking about exactly?
Again, just a laymans take here so please correct me because I’m probably missing some nuance or maybe it’s ignorance on my part but frankly I found it hard to take this seriously.
