Romney warned that a cornered Putin could use nuclear weapons in the war against Ukraine.
Republican Senator Mitt Romney suggested that” NATO could fight “in Ukraine,” potentially destroying Russia's armed forces in difficulty ” if Russian dictator Putin uses nuclear weapons .
The Utah senator also asked the West to issue an ultimatum to China and other Russian allies.
“You are either with us or with Russia you can't be with both, “Romney wrote in an essay in the New York Times.
“Russia's use of nuclear weapons would undoubtedly be a rethinking, a reorientation of the geopolitical field,” Romney continued. “Any country that decides to maintain ties with Russia after that will become an outcast in the world.” Romney warned that “cornered” Putin could use nuclear weapons in the war against Ukraine, citing warnings from former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov and CIA Director William Burns.
In April, Burns warned that Putin's “despair” could lead to the use of “tactical nuclear weapons or low-power nuclear weapons.”
Romney also called on the United States to continue to support Ukraine in the fight against the Russian invasion. If the United States stops supplying arms, Romney wrote, Putin will continue to “invade and enslave” other countries.
Joe Biden signed a $ 40 billion aid package to Ukraine ; $ 20 billion will go to military aid.
Romney has openly expressed contempt for Putin since the start of the war, calling the Russian president a “small, evil man” in February who is trying to turn Russia into an “empire”. He also called the pro-Putin Republicans “traitors.”
This week, Russian political scientist Alexei Fenenko told the 60 Minutes propaganda program that Putin's invasion of Ukraine was a “rehearsal” for a larger conflict and that they were using the war to “test and oppose” NATO weapons.
