Petraeus: If Putin uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the US will annihilate its military
Summary by NewsWall Apr 22 23
- When asked if Russia's use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine would pull America and Nato into the conflict, Petraeus said it would not be a situation that would trigger the alliance's Article 5, which calls for collective defense.
- "You don't want to, again, get into a nuclear escalation here." Petraeus warned.
- "It can still get worse for Putin and for Russia.
- And even the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield won't change this at all." Petraeus cautioned.
- Even the use of tactical nuclear bombs on the battlefield will have no effect."
