No, it's the opposite - they're saying that this isn't a change in Russia's behaviour.

I know what they're saying, but you seem to have misunderstood what I said. To my knowledge this is the first change in Russia's nuclear doctrine, so there's no "again" here. This is a significant change in nuclear use policy, and it would be sheer idiocy to dismiss it lightly.

It is the next step in a continued escalation of the nuclear threat.

Russia's actual nuclear policy has been "fire nukes if Putin says so" for decades. This paperwork doesn't represent an actual change.

No it hasn't and it's incredible that a grown ass person genuinely believes this.

Putin has been yapping about nuking the west if they cross whatever red line he made up that week for years.

I dare you to quote Putin as a proof. There’s simply no direct well defined threat from Putin on this topic.

There’s one from Medvedev, but he doesn’t represent Russian government and is not an official spokesperson for Russian government.
