David Petraeus, the former head of the CIA and one of the most esteemed generals of his generation, told ABC News on Oct. 2 that if Russian uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the entire occupation army of the Russian Federation could hypothetically be destroyed along with its equipment.
Asked how the United States might respond to Russia’s use of a tactical nuclear weapon, the former general said, “We would respond by leading a NATO collective effort that would take out every Russian conventional force that we could see and identify on the battlefield in Ukraine and Crimea, as well as all Russian ships in the Black Sea Fleet.”
Such a conventional attack by the US would be enough, and there would be no need to retaliate with a nuclear strike, he said
“This cannot go unanswered. But it doesn’t expand, it’s not nuclear for nuclear. You don’t want to get involved in a nuclear escalation,” Petraeus added. “But you must show that this cannot be accepted in any way.”
