The Russian action to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine would be followed by the American reaction to enter the war. The scenarios of the conflict unleashed by Vladimir Putin in Europe are now reaching frightening levels of alarm. American star David Petraeus, former director of the CIA, interviewed by ABC explained that to a possible Russian nuclear attack on Ukraine, NATO’s reaction would be “a collective effort, which would eliminate any conventional Russian force on the battlefield”, but not answer “with nuclear to nuclear”.
“We would respond by leading a NATO, a collective effort, that would eliminate all conventional Russian forces that we can see and identify on the battlefield in Ukraine and also in Crimea and on all ships in the Black Sea,” the retired general said. “There must be an answer, you can’t go unanswered. But it doesn’t expand, it’s not nuclear for nuclear. You can’t get into a nuclear escalation, but you must prove it (the possible attack on Kiev with nuclear weapons, ed.) cannot be accepted in any way”.
We are in the realm of hypotheses, explains the former head of the CIA. Of course, hearing about a war between the United States and Russia – in practice World War III – in the heart of Europe makes one’s wrists tremble, also because, according to many analysts, nuclear escalation would be inevitable with all the consequences of the case. . . A path of no return.
