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

Nice one :)

Yep

'dont get me mixed up with a whole different body'

Loved him in enemy of the state.

The Conversation.

I know 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

So it's her show.... He is the guest. She gets to ask questions. She even invites him to answer the question he poses st the end!

Listen to the Telegraph podcast about Ukraine. Top notch.

It’s a top radio station.

So true. I'm from Canada but trust World news to Times. Everything on the news here is politicized and subjective. Objective journalism is dead in North America.

I agree. US media is all about getting attention to boost the viewership so boost advertising revenue, inho.

remember to keep your own counsel there friend.

I can't stand the interrupting either. It is rude and steps on what the expert has to say.

This person was the worst

Yep

100%.

Silly woman shut up for once.

Amen💙💛

NATO will have air superiority withing hours.

I don't have a source but I heard early on (post-Feb 24) that inside the Kremlin, they think NATO would win a conventional war in 15 minutes. The only way that happens is we use airplanes and take Poohtin and the general out with a multi-point, coordinated attack

You'll be vaporised out your armchair,general.

Слава Украине love from Lebanon 🇱🇧 ❤️ to 🇺🇦 💙💛

@JD Rhea good sign when a critic/troll has no critique at all, no content...hmmm. I guess the paper tiger really is dead.

He's even better than that: he actually breeds love. A rare thing

I don't know what type of drugs he this gentleman took but anyone knows if US even sent long range missile will cease to exist 😂

@@18_rabbit @Little Tazz The 9M730 Burevestnik is a Russian experimental nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed cruise missile under development for the Russian Armed Forces. The missile has an essentially unlimited range. No wonder Biden is getting Armageddon hallucination 👀

@@dailylaughdose7030 No Russia would cease to exist. In fact, its on borrowed time already. I predict that it will collapse in less than 6 months. I will celebrate when it does.

And not one to fall into a trap of making needlessly controversial statements.

Its a four star General. They do not talk nonsens.

Create a coup.Provoke,then act innocent.....now back to sleep.

Hes nuts..

Sober ?! Well, I sure hope he's sober. No need listening to an intoxicated general talking nonsense...

"Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman, and child, lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment, by accident, or miscalculation, or by madness. The weapons of war must be abolished, before they abolish us." -President John F. Kennedy.

"Coalition of the Willing..." I remember that being said during the Iraq War, 2003...

Wow....that sounds more like a General Disarray

Or Russian troll

Bolton is a bollockless coward.

Bolton was out of his depth, misrepresented the US position, failed to explain his case.

Did Putin really do that? Well it's not a surprise

They'd target the launch sites for sure. I'd leave London if this happened!

@@willmac5642 London? Berlin.

@@willmac5642 they would destroy all Russian nuclear sites

@@cooldudecs Those missiles would be inbound to the USA by the time US cruise missiles reach Russian nuclear sites..

Putin will lose stalingrad and the russians will do him in (kind terms) just speculation scary i hope none of that happens

I don't know what type of drugs this gentleman took but anyone knows if US even sent long range missile will cease to exist 😂

@k 1 That's why he said the first retaliation to a tactical nuke would be conventional, but if Putin went on, the same couldn't be said for the second retaliation.

They can scratch the whole Kerch bridge attack off the retaliation list... that ship has sailed... and caught fire, and sunk!

I love how the General went full civilian after retirement. 👍

About as impressive as the Afghanistan botched pullout war profiteer

Perfect description....he is poker faced

They are busy learning to speak Chinese.

Nukes will be used...

Let’s hope you right man 👍

Keep dreaming! Putin will be in New York to watch the ball drop and drink into the morning.

Lol fingers crossed 🤞

Interesting concept that has merit.

Hit russian install all over the world from Africa to Asia. Everywhere except Russia mainland.

25% tariff on goods to or from any nation trading with Russia, possibly limiting all visas from citizens of those countries as well

I hope so.

@@johanlofgren7081 Also no more overland or sea shipments to Kaliningrad. Literally zero supplies. Cut all the power lines, any water or gas service that crosses Poland or Lithuania. Cut the subsea or overland internet connection. Then 100% total blockade.

Exactly. We've recently seen what happens when a leader with a fragile ego loses power, and they don't care about the damage they cause to avoid being seen as a "loser". It's worth studying trump to get a feel for how putin might respond.

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.

No it only requires one. If Russia goes insane and will stop at nothing to get what they want than NATO has humanity in their hands and there duty is to be sane, rational with a cool head to not escalate things to the point of dooming us all.

you make a very good point.

@@goodgame3374 perhaps you can leave Trump out of this okay there democrat.

It very well could, but lets remember it is Russia that has gotten us here. Also if Russia isnt already a global pariah, it will be after any nuclear attack. If Russia responds with nukes to a conventional strike, then Moscow will be a radioactive crater, and most of us will be dead.

@@bixbysnyder-00 so if we all die, at least its russia fault:-))

No retaliation is the same as surrendering, then that gives the green light to any dictator to use nuclear threats to get whatever they want.

it would be suicide.

The escalation allready happend.

… or Wargames 😂

That’s litteraly what i did today 🤣🤣 the ending scene kind of gave me an existential crisis

there's no fighting in the war room!

And, of course, Bolton is *not* military. (He's always been the slightly crazy diplomat powerful countries need.)

Colonels MacGregor Bacevich would disagree .

Sadly it is very much a part of the equation since Putin keep threatening to use them if Russian soil is attacked... And now Russia consider the occupied parts of Ukraine as Russian soil and they can now use nukes saying Russia was attacked when Ukraine try to take back their land.

Exactly.

And such a response by Nato would have Putin launch all his nukes at Nato and the US without question

@@cyborgclarke And how many, considering the state of russian equipment and the consistent theft of parts by corrupted official, do you think can actually take the flight?

@@cyborgclarke But Putin might find targeting a little difficult if his targeting satellites had been taken out. And that would happen in the first 15 minutes of any potential nuclear launch....

Putin isn't dumb like many Pentagon generals who are just as useless as Biden.

You mean Biden...

A lot of them are too far inside Russia

@@LutherusPXCs and mobile

How ?

There all in nuclear submarines so a very impossible task

Cant get the ballistic missile subs !

They used them in Syria. We did nothing.

It's also a WMD so there will be a a response this time.

@@pjhgerlach so are chemical weapons. And again. We did nothing when saran was used in syria.

One thing that I don't understand is why are chemical weapons, so inherently worse than conventional weapons? There was little to no response to leveling of cities, mass rapes and murders. How will chemical weapons escalate the situation further?

NATO air force planes will be added to the equation. If Russia thinks they have issues now, they haven't seen anything yet.

....ironically, A-10's are not even considered "cutting edge" anymore ! But they sure would cut some serious destruction if they were used......

@@urbanurchin5930 I'm thinking once the anti-air was suppressed . . . ya, the A10's are devastating.

You've been watching too many rambo films.

Good point. Xi may not look at that prospect very positively.

I wonder what XI is saying to Putin about getting out of Ukraine and stopping his war.

@@enigma1000 If only I were a fly on the wall.

Xi will support putin he wants tiwan and he is old man.By April 2023 will happen when tiwan is invaded.

It’s interesting how they won’t learn from, of all people, Napoleon!

Yeah but afgan is different. One its hard to conquer people that spread out. With any number of troops if they don't have some level of turn coat buy in that's real. If Afghan had like a queen. Empire Or something they believed in. the occupation could have been outsource but you can't make a nation if a nation doesn't feel itself as a nation.

To help ruzzia with their goodwill gestures, lol😀

russians actually believe they are fighting NATO in Ukraine

And you need to get a brain

You don't understand that a lot of Russians are prepared to die for Crimea and The Donbas. Like a lot of Amerikans are prepares to die for Florida. The question that you should ask yourself is whether you are also prepared to die for these regions? The stakes are simply much higher for the Russians. So you better not get into a fight with them over this.

source: trust me bro!

Yeah. But Putin would not retaliate with conventional forces. He would escalate with nukes. Then what? The fact that the west does not use nukes, does not mean putin won't use them.

I've the same worries about biden.

No worries, there is no mad man and no nuclear button.

Nato will use missiles planes etc not need ground troups. Like the gunship stealth bomberd etc they will smasch all Russian forces in just a couple of days, the targets plans are already in place, the planes and missiles are allready fueld up.

thats been spoke about many times already

Yes. It has been published already

Yes, absolutely.

Of course, any single bequerel higher than normal on the West side would trigger article 5.

I think you'll find the British army is far superior to the American army.

I agree with what you’re saying, but Mutually Assured Destruction is contingent upon rational actors. We’re trying to figure that out with Putin. He may well think there’s not much point in a world if he’s not in it.

Disagree. Nukes were used during WWII. The world is still here. Nuclear weapons being used doesn't necessarily lead to that outcome.

@@TheMahayanist those were 2. We are talking thousands of nukes one time

@@secretgoldfish931 That is my point. Putin doesn't seem rational. If we simply attack Russia in response, showing they weren't afraid to use them, they would probably respond with another nuclear attack. It could probably escalate. The best hope if Putin goes nuclear, one of his more rational men would stop him.

@@TheMahayanist Nuclear weapons today are different than atomic bombs then. There was no other nuclear, or atomic response we had to worry about then. People saw the effects, and hadn't been used in war since. It was then used as a deterrence since.

He's trolling his nation into destruction. Russia is bleeding men who don't want to be there. What a joke.

@@genemcn3579 When you Economy only is the size of the state of Texas, thats just not possible. He's trolling the west, playing mind games lol when he said he is not bluffing he actually means he is bluffing mr poker face. I really doubt he is going to drop some or even one LOL, we do not even know how many of Russia's nukes even work lol since a lot of money has to be spent to keep all of them in great condition like every year or every few years. Let's see what happens by the end of this year.

Why you want that?

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.

Yea people seem to forget the most important part dont they.

....and the hosts are continually trying to goad the guest into interjecting "sensationalized" dialogue. Yes, it is becoming tiresome.....

In this case there is no difference between presenter and retired military officer, the two have become one and the same.

I agree. 2:06 answer was hopefully clear enough for them to stop asking these "armageddon?" questions over and over again. Still, Times Radio is among the best, and that's why we want them to fine tune their reporting, don't we :)

I didn't even want to watch the video. I just came to observe that I keep seeing them wanting to talk about nuclear war over and over and over and over and over like a comedian shill bashing Trump. I lost interest in seeing any of their videos, as they are clearly just playing off fear.

On his worst day he's still more responsible than the last guy was on his best day. I don't care for Joe, but it's nice to have an adult in charge.

@@DAndyLord LOL.

@@jacksonfl Trump would have sold you to Putin by now.

Biden is a failure@@DAndyLord

Who are these supposed idiots you refer to? I’m extremely glad we have serious, adult and experienced leaders in charge of US/NATO.

Whom might be the idiots?

@@WintersFinalstand over the last 239 years the US has been at war for 222 of them. In terms of peacekeeping thats not a great track record. Bidens corruption is irrefutable. With arms deal backhanders and a bent US President, that doesnt make a good recipe for peace even if you get a another country to fight your wars by proxy

@@Mr.Monta77 He thinks the people he sees on TV talking are the ones who would be leading our tactical warfare efforts.

@@Mr.Monta77 NATO want war to continue. They are idiots.

Mindless supine obedience to western elites.....deserves all that's coming.

More like Russia as we know it will have serious lines redrawn on the west, & a few islands taken away in the east. Nothing more.

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.

Well, then they'll have to be happy with a crater where the Red Square was.

So what your saying is Vladof Putler would just end the World because he can’t otherwise Win ? I think he would be removed before that. Not all Russians want the end just because they can’t take over Ukraine.

Maybe but not necessarily in my opinion.

You assume Russias Nuclear response would be instant?, if there WMDs are half as bad as their army we can all relax...

Russia has no good military options, either conventional or nuclear.

and even she sounds brighter than you

A retired General with a collection of Military badges on display-in his office surely not?
