SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Russia will keep sending nuclear warning signals to its enemies in the West until they get the message, an influential foreign policy hawk said on Wednesday.
Security expert Sergei Karaganov has consistently urged President Vladimir Putin to lower the threshold for using nuclear weapons, and in the past has even advocated a pre-emptive strike on a NATO country.
