That's actually US policy and what I questioned. US POlicy is “If you nuke us we’ll nuke you back”. Show me where US has proposed first strike nuclear attack other than 80 years ago. And yes, the strike on Japan was immoral and unnecessary, but it's not like Japan was being super cool either.

That's actually what Putin is saying.
Whereas the US: "Current U.S. policy does not restrict the president’s ability to order a nuclear strike for any reason at any time. The military may reject an order that is perceived to violate laws of war, and there are legal concerns about the role of Congress authorizing the use of force, but as a matter of broad understanding, the president can launch nuclear weapons when and if s/he chose to."
Ah yes, for a very honest interpretation of international events I often turn to Putin’s statements.
Out of curiosity what source do you think would be a better representation of Russian policies regarding the use of nuclear weapons?
