If a NATO country attacked Russia directly, then the response very well could be a nuclear strike. NATO is a threat to Russia. Russia would need to take a direct attack very seriously and would reply in kind.
Maybe we need a stronger definition of “ally”. The USA is in a treaty with 32 member states that obligates boots-on-the-ground. Ukraine isn’t one of them. The line of where a country’s obligations to help an “ally” is defined in terms like that.
- unclebucknasty 3y agoThe discussion was not about "attacking Russia directly". It was about NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine. In that case, there's a near-zero percent chance that Russia would use nukes. Allyship does not require NATO membership. Clearly, the U.S. and NATO members consider Ukraine an ally.
