The United States will create a nuclear warhead to contain Russia

The US decided to ease restrictions on the use of nuclear weapons and develop a new warhead. Such measures Washington plans to take to deter Russia from using tactical missiles in the Middle East, reports The Guardian.

As explained by the publication of the former special assistant to Barack Obama for arms control and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, John Woolfstal, the Pentagon relies on a new nuclear doctrine, which he also prepared. According to the document, the warheads will be equipped with modified Trident D5 missiles, which are launched from submarines.
The doctrine expands the scope for US use of nuclear weapons. For example, this could be a response to a non-nuclear attack that resulted in mass casualties or destroyed important infrastructure facilities. It is expected that the document will be published in late January.

"It's a pretty good, moderate but powerful language that makes it clear that any attempt by Russia or North Korea to use nuclear weapons will lead to numerous consequences for them," Woolfstal said.

Supporters of arms control expressed concern about this decision. According to them, this makes the nuclear war even more likely, especially given the unstable character of President Donald Trump.

In November, it was reported that the US plans to allocate about $ 1.2 trillion for upgrading and maintaining nuclear weapons until 2016, which is 20 more than previously planned.
