Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted that his country's weapons are "clearly superior" to those of NATO members. “We have completely updated our strategic nuclear forces by 95%, and their naval component by almost 100%,” said Putin. Some Russian propagandists have discussed the prospect of Moscow launching a military strike on Berlin, Germany. Meanwhile, an expert said US lawmakers calling for strikes on Iran for arming Houthis may become a justification for Russia to strike NATO for arming Ukraine.
