Are the changes in the US nuclear posture in effect ? Easy use of tactical nukes from now on?
What will Russia think about mounting some nuclear artillery shell under a drone, or fitting it into a missile?

Re 90519: The only sentence worth considering is “There is no way around Great Global Depression.”
And don’t hope that US will get away from that. Latest GDP numbers from Saudi Arabia are a 4.8% decline. Energy revenues for all Gulf states dropped severely. US needs a steady inflow of new Petrodollars to soak up the new debt. Where can this money come from, in the midst of a severe global depression?
Remember Russia in 2022, demanding every payment to be done in Rubles? Imagine China going this way…
