FAQ about Putin’s nuclear threats…

During most interview or news shows about the Ukraine war, the constant question we hear is that one: “If Putin uses nuclear tactical, or even larger weapons out of desperation, what should the US response be?” 

No one seems able, imaginative or daring enough to voice a sound answer capable of addressing the danger packaged with a nuclear response or the absence of one as a tit for tat reaction. 

Without pretending to be a political expert, I think I know the best answer to Putin resorting to the use of any kind of nuclear warhead again Ukraine or its allies. The best would be to immediately “neutralize” Putin, Lavrov and Army General Gerasimov.

These three characters should be geo-localized in permanence to allow for such a swift, surgical and effective action. 

That’s right, the logical course of action would be to “neutralized” this troika for good and then, and immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine should precede any disarmament of Russia and repair or restitution for Ukraine. 

Absent that action from Russia, strike its strategic assets. This strategy would offer a swift and definite response to Putin’s demented plans. I hope Biden does just this when and if he must address this issue.
