This would be nuclear red line number... what, twenty, thirty by now?

There's an old parable about crying wolf that might need to be translated into Russian for this guy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_lines_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War

In 2023 Russia made 15 official "red line" statements, compared to 24 in 2022.

If this new one qualifies as an official "red line" statement -- and I don't think it does -- then it'd be about 40.
