Former CIA director: If Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the US and NATO could hit Russian troops on Ukrainian territory
Retired US Army General David Petraeus, former head of the CIA, said that US troops and NATO allies "could hit Russian troops in Ukraine." According to Petraeus, such a scenario could be considered “in the event that Russia might use nuclear weapons there.” weapons».
According to a representative of a retired US general, which he expressed in an interview with ABC, the US "in such a situation could lead the collective efforts of NATO."
Petraeus:
Apparently, in his statement, the ex-CIA director pronounces the word "Crimea" separately from the phrase "Ukrainian territories." This is, perhaps, the only grain of common sense from Mr. Petraeus, who probably forgets that in the event of a strike against Russian troops, the United States and NATO become direct participants in hostilities, which automatically means the possibility of striking American (NATO) troops as well. troops.
At the same time, Petraeus unambiguously says that if Russia “uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, then this will not trigger Article 5 of the NATO Charter.” David Petraeus:
According to Petraeus, "neither mobilization, nor even the use of tactical nuclear weapons will change anything for Russia." Only the ex-director of the CIA, escalating the situation, for some reason does not say anything about the fact that in this case, the threats emanating from him will not change anything for the United States and NATO if it comes to their direct conflict with Russia.
