intends to use a nuclear weapon, but it raises two possibilities. one, the thing that their system is supposed to prevent, i launch ordered by accident or miscalculation. and, second, if putin starts chooses war, if he would find himself into a corner with no way out, he could resolve to a russian strategy called escalate to de-escalate. i was wrong about in military journals where they would use a nuclear weapon first, to indicate the seriousness of the situation, and then try to get the west to back off from any further actions to contain russia s assault. so, all of this is very scary. none of it is certain. i should emphasize the risk of nuclear u.s. still quiet low. but it is not zero. and under the current circumstances, that should terrorize us. terrorize us. ambassador, could there be something symbolic here in
watch. it is it shows the moral to the physical as three days to one per what it means by that. you can never discount the heart of your army and the willingness to fight. ukraine is showing that. they are willing to fight for their country and push back and they are fighting very hard. i think this will be absolutely critical. if he doesn t win this week and they re able to take kiev, i think you will lose and be studied for the rest of the world. the reason he knows that he made it, if you talk about special conga readiness, he would not be talking about special combat readiness and nuclear weapons if he didn t think about that. russians fight that way. the escalate to de-escalate. they have slow yield nuclear weapons that they can put off in a distance, hit a dirt field and make nuclear weapons, the president should have addressed
leveling ukraine. they are leveling that country. i agree. judge jeanine: it doesn t look like an iron domain any way, shape, or form. here s an issue i see as well, if three months from now we were zelensky agreeing to the same terms, the other things that have changed are tens of thousands of ukrainians have died. that falls back on the west and the government for not having a better plan in place and understanding both of these forces that were better before this started. that is where my ire is pointed. i don t know what i don t know but on this topic of escalating or as the russians say, escalate to de-escalate, i would imagine first. judge jeanine: thank you so much. tonight s last fight is an unsanitary one. you will see why.
research in. you say if, god forbid, it did come to that, it may not be what people expect. describe how this could go down. well, first of all, i think the chances of it going nuclear are very unlikely. at the same time, i think it s less unlikely than at any time we ve seen than the cuban missile crisis 60 years ago. the russians have a doctrine in their military training and it s called escalate to de-escalate. the idea is if they re in a war with nato, and if they appear to be losing, they rezfsh the right to escalate. maybe throw a few tactical nuclear weapons against nato military targets. what do you mean by tactical? tactical nuclear weapons? weapons that are short range enough. in other words, not the long-range nuclear weapons aimed
