In an interview with NZZ, CSS head of think tank Oliver Thränert explains why threats with nuclear weapons are part of a general nuclear strategic thinking that, apart from Russia, can also be observed among other great powers. He also talks about the preconditions for the actual use of nuclear weapons, the probability of such an attack, and the long-term effects of the threatening gestures on the geopolitical structure.
