should not be underestimated. jim sciutto just got a reply from lavrov about the comments of mark milley. general milley isn t chalking this up to just rhetoric, jim? there s a dance that russia has been playing here. you saw that in lavrov s comments. on the one he said he didn t want to artificially inflate the threat, but he said it s a serious threat. russian state media is talking openly about the prospect of a nuclear strike. i asked general milley, i said is this just rhetoric, or are you seeing movements among their military forces and weapons that would make you think it s something more? his answer in effect was any discussion is dangerous. have a listen. any time a senior leader of a nation state starts rttleing a nuclear saber, then everyone takes it seriously. and it s completely irresponsible for any senior leader to be talking like that
