Kyl was complaining that the treaty deals only with strategic nuclear
weapons (on long-range bombers, submarines or intercontinental
missiles) and not with tactical nukes (the typically lower-yield,
...shorter-range warheads used to aid conventional forces in battle). One
reason this is troubling, according to Kyl, is that Russia is so
trigger-happy; whereas America views its nukes as a deterrent, he said, “to the Russians, tactical nuclear weapons are a battlefield weapon, just like artillery.”
Now, if Russia really did see tactical nuclear weapons as “just like artillery,” then sometime du...ring the 1980s Afghanistan would have become a 250,000-square-mile expanse of warm glass.

There will be occasions when this is messed up or forgotten, but generally it will true- for those keeping track of the opining vs the reporting!)
