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."

Gene Hackman's best performance in many years.

Don't interrupt the guest if they are still making their point

[traildoggy]

These Times Radio interviews are better than 99% of what we get in US media.

[Bobbydazzlla]

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

I always appreciate General Breedlove’s analysis, he’s one of the great ones.

[peterreidy]

A very shrewd, level headed and knowledgeable interview from General Breedlove!

[mrc]

I like him. Sober. Pragmatic. Grounded. I think he's talking sense. I think he is the kind of man we should be listening to.

[bunbwre]

Sounds like a really well balanced man.

Bolton should always be taken in the context of an unstable man who once chased a colleague through the halls with a pair of scissors. The good General knows this. 😂

[rickchumsae]

Thank you. A breath of fresh air, dignity and reason.

[Jako]

My bet is immediate NATO massive airstrikes both on land and at sea to a scale not seen since the 1991 Gulf War.

[clineshaunt]

When he said there were conventional options more destructive than tactical nukes, it's kind of like during WW2 where the fire bombing attacks on Tokyo and other cities, Dresden too, were just as destructive as the atomic bombs.

[ZachSwena]

The reason the US no longer insists on replying with nuke vs nuke is that we no longer need a nuke to have a nuke level of impact with escalation...

[eisirt]

Brilliant analysis. Reasoned and thoughtful.

[bowser]

Nice calm answers by this gentleman. And the questions he asked himself when he didn't like the interviewers were just as good... 😂

[davidhuett]

It's good to know that there are senior military generals currently serving, that will have the same cool, calm and collected attitude that this retired general has.
You can be assured, regardless of all the current fervour from the media and social media, that these military people have everything well in hand.

[Kevin-jbpv]

You can tell that this guy is a poker player. Keeps his cards very close and doesn't give away anything.

[davorinrusevljan]

General Breedlove has very similar face, smile and determination as my father, he always reminds me of him.

[anthonyhulse]

Some kind of kinetic activity. What a mild descriptor for a powerful response.

[rogerazevedo]

The General has to ask and reply as the interviewer can’t do her job.
This General is the cherry on top of the cake when relates to war analysis. Very intelligent, weighted restrained with wording a true legend.
