Article may be full of shit. Really you can write any old rubbish if you include the words 'may have' or 'may be' can't you.
I updated article to Bloomberg source...
My issue wasn't with the source, but with the physics defying length of the bow being drawn here. I'm far from an expert so maybe someone can correct me but I don't understand why these articles are trying so hard to conflate a chemical weapons test with a nuclear test? They are very careful about the wording here and it seems to be implying something that's just...not the case.
Also who's afraid of a new arms race? Russia is being defeated with decades old weapons, what kind of race are we talking about exactly?
Again, just a laymans take here so please correct me because I'm probably missing some nuance or maybe it's ignorance on my part but frankly I found it hard to take this seriously.
More credible or different points of view articles will come out, please post once you find one!
