Proposals had been made to change Russia's nuclear doctrine to allow for attacking any non-nuclear state that had the participation or support of a nuclear state, Putin said.
I know what they’re saying, but you seem to have misunderstood what I said. To my knowledge this is the first change in Russia’s nuclear doctrine, so there’s no “again” here. This is a significant change in nuclear use policy, and it would be sheer idiocy to dismiss it lightly.
Are you claiming there was already a recent change to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, I’d be very interested to see a source.
No, it’s the opposite - they’re saying that this isn’t a change in Russia’s behaviour.

Russia’s actual nuclear policy has been “fire nukes if Putin says so” for decades. This paperwork doesn’t represent a real change.
No it hasn’t and it’s incredible that a grown ass person genuinely believes this.
