Nuclear threat? Hard to say if the president put on stay bluffing or less. So, the director of Cia, William Burnsexplained in an interview cbs, the latest moves by the Russian president who, after the annexation of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions within the Russian Federation, accused the United States of immorality, also recalling “I’m the only country that used nukes twice”, effectively setting “a precedent”.

“Well, we have to take this kind of threat very seriously, given all that is at stake,” Burns explained, “the rhetoric he and other Russian leaders have used is reckless and deeply irresponsible. Today we do not see concrete evidence in the US intelligence community that it is approaching actual use, that there is an imminent threat of using tactical nuclear weapons.”

The CIA chief then explained that “at this point it is very difficult to say”. “As I said, what we have to do is take it very seriously, watch for the signs that indicate a preparedness-continued-but we must communicate very directly the serious consequences that would derive from the use of nuclear weapons,” he said. he concluded.

Meanwhile, the United States has announced that it will soon ship “four new advanced anti-missile systems”. The systems will form part of a new $625 million package to be announced next week, two sources told The Associated Press.
