URGENT - This morning the Kremlin in Moscow said the Ukraine situation has become an "existential threat" to Russia.


According to Russian military doctrine, which is long published and well known, an "existential threat" is cause to use nuclear weapons.


NATO has long made clear that if Russia uses a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, and the radiation drifts across the border of a NATO member country, NATO will view the radiation as an "attack" by Russia, against NATO.  They will invoke Article 5, collective self defense against Russia.


Russian President, Vladimir Putin made clear at the start of the Ukraine Special Military Operation, that if NATO declares Article 5 against Russia, "Russians will die as martyrs, NATO won't even have time to repent."


I don't know how fast any of this is going to happen, but today's declaration from the Kremlin is the final step before Russia uses nuclear weapons.

More if I get it.
