Now look what's happened. Last night, some of those missiles were fired into Russia.
Immediately, Putin responded. He revised the rules for using nukes. He has lowered the threshold for first use. This is an escalation.

But it’s done. The missiles have been used. Putin has escalated and President Biden, with only days left in the Oval Office, has made it difficult for his successor.
