Without question, Hutchison is not merely suggesting but stating plainly that U.S. policy is that barring Russia voluntarily dismantling its intermediate-range systems will result in a military strike at some point by the U.S. and, we assume, NATO since shes speaking as a representative of the alliance.
In the aftermath of the interview, there hasnt been any response from the White House or Pentagon refuting Amb. Hutchisons statement. That may eventually come, especially if media reports pick up and publicize that portion of the interview. If that happens, its possible the White House clarifies it in a way to downplay Hutchisons comments.

Question: [Inaudible] in Norway. Maam, can you be more specific what kind of new information that you are bringing to the table regarding the breach of the INF Treaty? And more explicitly also, what kind of countermeasures that you are considering. Ambassador Hutchison: The countermeasures would be to take out the missiles that are in development by Russia in violation of the treaty. So that would be the countermeasure eventually. We are trying not to do anything that would violate the treaty on our side, which allows research, but not going forward into development, and we are carefully keeping the INF Treaty requirements on our side, while Russia is violating. https://nato.usmission.gov/october-2-2018-press-briefing-by-ambassador-kay-bailey-hutchison/

Did this 75 year old GOPe grandma actually say we would do a preemptive strike, on Russia, over a treaty violation? Does she think they would simply accept a US tactical attack on their missile facilities and shrug and back down?

“It’ll be as easy as when they kicked the crap out of Serbia.”
As easy as when the Austrians kicked Serbia in 1914 maybe and set off a world war. All your hyperbole aside, do you literally think that we could launch a precision attack on Russian intermediate range missiles, inside Russia, and it would end there with them accepting that?

And by the way, I agree that we could launch a successful strike and they probably would have a very tough time stopping it.
But then congratulations, you just bombed nuclear missile sites inside Russia. At that point there would be a strategic missile exchange.
