Patraeus’ Proposed Response to Russia’s Use of Nuclear Weapons is Idiotic at Best

As Russia continues to face major setbacks and heavy losses in its bid to annex parts of Ukraine, the United States has issued a strong warning to Putin not to use nuclear weapons. Most obviously, Putin knows that this would breach all international treaties and protocols, and spark a backlash of catastrophic proportions. The possibility of Putin making use of his nuclear arsenal in the war against Ukraine grows greater by the way, and Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechen Republic, which has been fighting alongside Russia, has been pressuring Putin to engage the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
