NATO today warned the world is on the brink of a nuclear World War 3, and announced it is taking nuclear weapons out of storage in Europe to confront Russia in Ukraine.
NATO indicated it has put an undisclosed number of nuclear warheads on standby amid escalating tensions.
As Russian President Vladimir Putin undertakes a rare North Korean state visit this week - marking a likelihood of significant escalations in the Ukrainian war -- NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said bluntly "I won't go into details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational, but we need to consult on these issues. That's exactly what we're doing."
