> Any 'threat' they have issued has been in response to 'threats' issued by 'our' side

Then please, link me the relevant statements. Liz Truss's (who btw. isn't Britains PM any more) remarks were made in late August 2022 [1]. The russian nuclear sabre-rattling started in February 2022 [2].

So who exactly has threatened russia with nuclear weapons to elicit these responses? Helping a souvereign nation defend itself against an invasion and protecting their land and people, is not a threat. Offering a souvereign nation to join a military pact is also not a threat.
