Vice Chairman of the Russian Security Council and former President Medvedev posted today (November 6): "No one knows what Trump meant by 'nuclear test' (he himself may not be clear). But he is the President of the United States. The consequences of such statements are inevitable: Russia will be forced to re-evaluate the necessity of conducting a full-scale nuclear test."
Comments: Trump mentioned restarting nuclear tests three times within a week, and even though there is no consensus within the U.S. on whether it involves a nuclear explosion, his remarks have broken the global 33-year moratorium on nuclear testing. Medvedev's response is a clear countermeasure from the Russian side - directly linking the U.S. actions with the "re-evaluation of the necessity of a full-scale nuclear test," which points out the strategic deterrence risk inherent in the U.S. president's position, and reflects the chain reaction under the continuous collapse of the U.S.-Russia nuclear arms control system, and the global nuclear security is facing the most severe uncertainty since the Cold War.
