Original: Despite Moscow’s Nuclear Threat, NATO Rehearses Its Nuclear Mission in Italy

The exercises demonstrate the alliance's readiness to maintain its nuclear deterrent posture, and come at a time of heightened rhetoric from Russia about the possible use of nuclear weapons, keeping European security tensions high.
