Now a lot of people are saying that America’s new cruise missile will be destabilizing and will make Russia launch a first nuclear strike against the U.S. and Europe. Is this something to be concerned about?

Mark Galeotti
/ May 1, 2016Eh, I honestly don’t see them as being that objectively important; they say something about Putin’s gamesmanship, but in the grand scheme of things I think the best response is to ignore such displays. Maybe I will write something on this, so watch this space!
