Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane analyzed the political implications of Vladimir Putin threatening nuclear war against Ukraine on "Your World."
GEN. JACK KEANE: When everybody talks about, "Well, it's part of the DNA for them to use tactical nuclear weapons if they're fighting a war." Well, that scenario is when they're fighting a war against a superpower like the United States. We have to unpack this a little bit so it makes sense to the American people in terms of what the consequences are.
First of all, militarily, one tactical nuclear weapon would not do the kind of damage I think Putin would want to do to Ukrainian forces and the disposition of their people as well. But politically, probably one would suffice. But what would be the consequences of that? Well, first of all, they have to deal with the radiation themselves – Russian forces on the ground and possibly the Russian people themselves. And so that is a terrible consequence for them.

Russia is in Shock: People are Fleeing from Mobilization and War - Scott Ritter | 21.09 Interview
We are involved. Way more than we should be. Thanks FJB. You thought FDR was bad with wwii starting on purpose,FJB wants wwiii, and so does Mad Vlad.
At the same time Putin’s also crazy. He invades another country and says its to protect the territorial integrity of Russia. Ukraine didnt invade Russia.
And that he’ll use nukes.
Commies are gonna be commies. Like socialist libtards here, the lying and warping of reality never ends.
Others would argue otherwise with Mr. KeaneStooge given Russia is not Iraq nor Afghanistan nor Vietnam, nor Korea.....etc.
‘The United States Could Not Win and Will Not Fight a War Against Russia’

This guy is another pompous idiot. He doesn’t have to “unpack” anything for people to understand what’s going on. And if he thinks Putin doesn’t understand what a tactical nuke would do, he’s even dumber than he looks.
Thank goodness he’s here for all us stupid people. SHUT. UP.
Keene is a bought and paid for agent for the Institute for the Study of War. Use your Google machine to learn more about this rancid Neocon front for the MIC.
Hey Jack... The whole dang world loses if the US gets involved.
Including tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people losing their lives.
Of course that is OK with the global elite. They actually want billions to die, as long as it isn’t THEM.
Indeed.
And what if China gets involved? Who loses then?
If Russians poke goats in their behinds Brandon will find a way to lose. And give them $80 billion in equipment. And they will provide a biometric database of Ukrainian soldiers so they can be hunted down like animals, they and their families.
No reason to let Afghanistan have all the fun.
Absolute insanity! This idiot is on TV discussing the pros and cons of a nuclear war with Russia. Incredibly, people sit and lap it up like we’re strategizing a board game. All of this to keep the corrupt DC stooges in Kiev in power so the graft continues flowing back to Washington. Sure Putin loses if we get involved. This dolt doesn’t understand that America loses as never before as soon as the proxy falls away and it’s Russians and Americans killing great numbers of each other. I thought sensible people had dismissed the concept of “winning” a nuclear war when Buck Turgidson retired from the Air Force.
The Neoconistas are drooling so much the Tidal Basin may overflow…
Scott Ritter is an alarmist and a flake (and I’m not even going address his peculiar personal habits involving young girls). He’s on there telling Putin EXACTLY what Putin wants to hear, that Russia itself is now in danger, ostensibly from NATO; which, of course, would give Putin the excuse he’d need to go nuclear if he decided to: In his own mind he’d be able to justify such use.
I get the impression there are some pro-Russia posters on FR that would cheer at such a development.
However, Russia is not in danger, from NATO or anyone else; that is, unless Russia does something really stupid.
The arrogance of these people is unbelievable.
General Jack Keane isn’t sayin’ that we wouldn’t get our hair mussed.

It’s all part of a sickness of the internet age where companies are so desperate for view share, they’ve learned the easiest was to garner views is to be as hysterical as possible in their analysis and reporting. It’s not heathy long term to take in a steady diet of incessant doomsday histrionics.
Yes, you are right. We haven’t fought a modern military since Japan. We have not seen our new rainbow warriors prove themselves yet either. I don’t understand how, over the last six months, war with Russia went from assured Armageddon to “we’ll kick their ass”. I kinda still believe the accepted view of nuclear war developed over the past sixty years.
