Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chair of the Security Council of Russia, made the comments after President Biden quietly authorized Kyiv to launch U.S.-supplied weapons at military targets just over the border in Russia that are supporting an offensive against the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

"This is, alas, neither intimidation nor bluffing," Medvedev said Friday, speaking on the potential to use strategic nuclear weapons, per Reuters.

I don't know how much this guy is just acting tough, but there it is.

Completely acting the tough guy. It's about 30 threats of "immediate use of nuclear weapons" at this stage from him.

Medvedev is the guy at fights who is always around the edge making shapes while having a couple of cronies pretending to hold him back. He's the guy who tries to set up fights but never shows up when they happen. He's the guy who if he was leader would have his subordinates doing all his fighting for him.
