Russsian President Vladimir Putin today (February 27, 2022) ordered Russian nuclear forces put on high alert, in response to what he called "aggressive statements" by NATO powers, the Newsmax website reports.
The directive to put Russia's nuclear weapons in an increased state of readiness for launch raised fears that the criss could boil over into nuclear warfare, whether by design or mistake.
Putin's step is "potentially putting in play forces that, if there's a miscalculation, could make things much more dangerous," said a senior U.S. defense official.
