i don't think he means anything in particular. of putin has been claimed by the way . this is, this is a truism of banality to say that because of course, ah, a new nuclear arms country has to take into account. what are the nuclear on countries alliances do i mean it's ridiculous to acclaim otherwise. so essentially it's a seemingly meaningful statement with kind of subtle threats, but in fact, it doesn't mean that women is developing new nuclear weapons. it doesn't mean that booth and is going to to, to try and restart nuclear tests. it doesn't mean even that fusion is really serious about quitting the or the arms reduction treaties from recently he froze or suspended rushes participation in start. but this is in fact a changing nothing so far. oh, so i think he's playing with this theme of nuclear weapons because he knows it scares a lot of people in the west,
