Russia And NATO Build Up Nuclear Arsenals – Analyst

As a response to U.S. plans to station nuclear weapons – which are four times the destructive power of the one that was used on Hiroshima in 1945 – Russia expressed protest and has been intimidating the U.S. with ‘preventative measures’.

Could it mean that the Kremlin is poised to launch a nuclear arms race and could these ‘preventative measures’ be dangerous?

ValueWalk asked this question Igor Korotenko, a Russian military expert, who is often published in Russian media.

“First of all, the U.S. should expect Russia’s stationing of Iskader complexes to Kaliningrad region, the Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic Sea,” Korotenko told ValueWalk.
