    The boomers are always on active alert, so would standby be a step down? I didn’t get what this would do. Everything is already ready to launch quickly and has been for decades.

      It was Medvedev who started talking shit about nukes more than a year ago (and a lot since then)

        Originally it was NATO via its puppet Zelensky.

        Medvedev is a nut. I think he’s just spewing vitriol to appease the hawks in Russia. The same way Lindsey Graham does in the states.
