Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reminder of Russia’s nuclear arsenal at the beginning of its recent invasion into Ukraine is a warning to the United States and other NATO members that if they get directly involved in the conflict, there could be a risk of nuclear escalation, said Sagan, the co-director of the Center for International Security and Cooperation (Lug Can Can XL Convertible Crossbody Bag, Midnight Black, NWOT,Fiore Isabella Fiore Taupe Brown Leather Shoulder Bag with Bird Stitch Embroider,
