Former general explains how West would respond if Putin used a nuke

"We will see some sort of demonstrative kinetic strike that will alter the facts on the ground in Ukraine. But not a nuke."
If the West will ‘not use tactical nuclear weapons’ against Putin, what else would be used to respond? General Philip Breedlove describes on #TimesRadio.

No more commercial shipping for anything. Also, I don't think anyone except maybe North Korea would want to trade with a Russia that has used nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

Indeed. The idea that the west should get involved in a regional conflict in support of a non-NATO hopelessly corrupt country like Ukraine to whom we owe no defense treaties and strike Russia when it has not threatened or acted against NATO in any way shape or form, which will almost certainly escalate to an understandable nuclear response by Russia against NATO, truly is insane.

It's very interesting he speaks about a conventional response to a nuke from russia. Putin has lost his best tank brigade, the one he'd parade and is supposed to protect the Kremlin, very early in their invasion. A conventional military take out by the US, NATO, etc. would be relatively easy, since the brave Ukrainans have basically won, it's just a matter of time. UA have some genius PR moves like having a nice price list for equipment like tanks, BMPs, helicopters, etc. and a guarantee of being treated well, if they surrender. Couple this with the fact that the corruption within the russian military means they can't even give their conscripts uniforms.

Though I believe there are options other than a nuclear response, the fear or the use of more nuclear weapons would cause either Russia, or any other countries would cause them to respond. Any county unafraid to use nuclear weapons would be seen as an extreme threat, and untrustworthy. It would be difficult then to deescalate the situation from nuclear, therefore any use can likely lead to nuclear war, and the end of the world.

He won't have much an army, navy, or airforce left to respond with. He could finally accept defeat and make peace with Ukraine, or he could try to destroy earth in a nuclear armageddon... over Ukraine. It's a binary choice. And I'm not discounting the possibility of choice #2, I just see it as less likely than a peace treaty. The Soviet union knew when further fighting in Afghanistan was pointless. Maybe he'd realize the total destruction of Russia in a nuclear exchange isn't worth Kherson, Crimea, and the Donbass in Ukraine. Sounds utterly illogical. Putin has been foolish, but I don't think he is incapable of logic... there's also the possibility Putin orders the nuclear strikes then is overthrown by the military. Just because he decides not to care about the survival of Russia, doesn't mean his subordinates will stop caring. Their families will die too. It might finally be the final step too far that the military is not willing to cross for him.

So you saw what 80 cruise missiles could do. How about 500, or 1000. And 500 and a thousand again, along with Russia's Navy, sending in the big missiles. They don't need nukes. They could put the Ukraine down anytime. Russia is the second largest nuclear power on earth. And in stockpile of

Continued..... and in stock piles of conventional missiles. They've been a country twice as long as the United States. The Ukraine knows that. We need both to back off. If that doesn't happen, the Ukraine stands to lose the most or all. We don't need more dead.
