6:35 am: For Washington, Putin’s words are “irresponsible”
Vladimir Putin’s latest statements on the nuclear bomb once again displease Washington. The United States thus described Wednesday as “irresponsible” the words “lightly” of the Russian president, who relativized the risk of recourse to nuclear weapons.
The spokesman for the US State Department, Ned Price, notably recalled that the nuclear powers throughout the world since the Cold War, including China, the United States, and Russia itself have been clear on the fact that “a nuclear conflict must never occur and can never be won”. “We believe that any other rhetoric, whether nuclear threats or even the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons, is irresponsible,” he insisted.
