Former CIA chief: If Russia uses nuclear weapons, the US will destroy its entire
David Petraeus

If President Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons, the United States and its allies will destroy all Russian troops and equipment in Ukraine. These are the words of retired general and former head of the CIA, David Petraeus, who responds to growing concerns about the possibility that Putin will take the war in Ukraine to a dangerous new level.

"The US and its NATO allies will destroy Russian forces and sink the Black Sea fleet if Vladimir Putin decides to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine," said former CIA director David Petraeus.

The four-star general, now retired, predicted in an interview with US media what he believed would happen if the Kremlin used nuclear weapons.

"We would respond by leading a collective NATO effort that would take out every Russian conventional force that we can see and identify on the battlefield in Ukraine, in Crimea and every ship in the Black Sea," he said. .

Petraeus said Russia's use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine would not trigger NATO's Article 5, which calls for collective defense of member states, because Ukraine is not part of the alliance.

But, for the general, there is a clause that can bring NATO into play. He said that if Putin were to use nuclear weapons, the possibility is high that radiation from the attack would affect a member of the alliance, and this could be interpreted as an attack against NATO, which would trigger Article 5.

Putin has made implied threats to use nuclear weapons, prompting National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to warn Russia of "catastrophic consequences".

Secretary of State Antony Blinken also said the Biden administration has made it "very clear" to Moscow that a nuclear attack would be followed by "terrible consequences."

President Biden meanwhile warned Putin in a speech after the annexation ceremony in the Kremlin that the US and its allies were "fully prepared" to "defend every inch of NATO territory".
