Despite the fact that neither Ukraine nor the United States see any prerequisites for the use of nuclear weapons by Russia, there is such a possibility .
“The price of the question”: if the paths use nuclear weapons
Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the Office of the President, noted that if he decides to use nuclear weapons, the consequences for him will be catastrophic.
The adviser noted that he knows what the red line will be for Putin and the top leadership of the Kremlin , after which they are afraid to use nuclear weapons, but named possible options.
“Theoretically, it is possible to assume an attack, but what's next”
Among them is a nuclear strike, a massive strike with a non-nuclear weapon with a reduction combat potential of Russia. And according to Arestovich, the United States may well do it.
Theoretically, we can assume a nuclear attack on Ukraine, but what's next? You allowed a nuclear strike on a non-nuclear state. Moreover, the state was given guarantees for the fact that it had lost its nuclear potential. You allowed a nuclear strike. What will the whole world do, – Arestovich asked rhetorically.
The adviser explained that in this case the world would rush to arm itself. An uncontrolled process will begin – everyone will want to buy nuclear weapons. “And none of the club of “nuclear countries”, primarily the Americans, will have arguments against it.”
Nuclear retaliation is possible
The following is why Alexei Arestovich believes that Putin will not use nuclear weapons – the answer is “nuclear countries”.
The Americans talk about the catastrophic consequences for Russia and Putin directly. And Liz Truss said that in this case she would use nuclear weapons against Russia,” Arestovich noted.
The adviser also recalled the response options from the United States. In particular, retired General, former commander of US forces in Europe Ben Hodges spoke about a possible strike against Russia, for example, against the Black Sea Fleet.
We understand what this means, this means a huge hole in the air defense, where NATO aircraft can enter – about 3 thousand units at a time and then solve all issues in 3 hours. – Arestovich added.
It is possible that NATO troops enter Ukraine.
The adviser explained what a “nuclear scenario” is, and if Russia uses even one tactical nuclear charge, it will mean its beginning.
Then, according to Arestovich, all previous restrictions are removed – not a no-fly zone, on the use of strikes on the territory of Russia, on NATO not entering the war, on NATO not entering on the territory of Belarus.
In addition, he mentioned that India and China directly called on Putin to end the war, so these “nuclear countries” are unlikely to like the use of nuclear weapons by Russia.
