00:11to fire American missiles into Russia.
00:14Washington says the move was in response to Russia's deployment of North Korean soldiers
00:18in Russia.
00:19The updated doctrine outlines the threats that would make Russia contemplate using nuclear
00:23weapons.
00:24It now includes any conventional assault on Russia by a non-nuclear power, supported by
00:29a nuclear power, to be a joint attack.
00:32Any mass aerospace attack with aircraft, cruise missiles, and unmanned aircraft that crossed
00:37Russia's borders could also trigger a nuclear response.
00:41Together, Russia and the U.S. control 88% of the world's nuclear warheads.
00:46Analysts say it's an attempt by Putin to draw a red line for the West.
