Hi there.

Well, Russia's defense ministry today said Ukraine had carried out its first attacks on Russian territory using American-made long-range attackums. Now, according to the ministry, Ukraine fired six of these missiles on Russia's western Bryansk region, five of which Russian air defenses destroyed mid-flight, and the sixth the ministry claimed to have downed. No injuries were reported.

We don't have any word from Kyiv yet. But if the claim is true, it appeared to be the direct result of the Biden administration's decision, reported by NPR and others, that it had lifted restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range Western weapons to target inside Russia.

Well, not directly, but Russian President Vladimir Putin today signed a decree updating his country's nuclear doctrine, in effect expanding Russia's options for carrying out a nuclear strike in what would appear a response to the U.S. 's decision.

Under the new changes, Russia now reserves the right to respond with a nuclear strike to a conventional attack by countries supported by a nuclear power. Now, I should add these changes had been previously announced, but it's hard not to see the timing of its signing as a coincidence.

Well, it's transformed Russia utterly. Everything from its geopolitics, where Russia now embraces military alliances with anti-Western rogue states like Iran and North Korea. to its domestic political culture. Russia under President Vladimir Putin was never a liberal bastion, but the repressions of seemingly any dissent since the war started make the earlier Putin years seem comparatively free.
