Если же говорить о их официозе, а не о их поехавших в твиттере, которым скучно из-за снижения потока новостей (такие есть и они пролезают в жаждущие горячего сми, да) то он скорее таков

"The US military is keeping a constant watch on Russia's nuclear arsenal as the war in Ukraine continues and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is being briefed two or three times a week by the top US general who oversees US nuclear weapons and defenses, according to multiple defense officials.

The US has not seen any indication Russia has made any moves to prepare nuclear weapons for use during the war, but two sources familiar with recent intelligence assessments told CNN that US officials are more concerned about the threat of Russia using them than at any time since the Cold War.

The sources stressed, however, it is still unlikely Russian President Vladimir Putin would use any kind of nuclear weapon and one of the sources put the chances of use at around 1%."

Ну и опять же вчерашний Байден с "безответственностью обсуждений возможности применения".
