Poland's foreign minister said the US had told Russia that it would strike Russian targets in Ukraine if Putin were to use nuclear weapons.
In an interview with the Guardian, Radosław Sikorski seemed doubtful of Russia's threats about using nuclear weapons, saying: "The Americans have told the Russians that if you explode a nuke, even if it doesn't kill anybody, we will hit all your targets [positions] in Ukraine with conventional weapons, we'll destroy all of them."
"I think that's a credible threat," he said. "Also, the Chinese and the Indians have read Russia the riot act. And it's no child's play because if that taboo were also to be breached, like the taboo of not changing borders by force, China knows that Japan and Korea would go nuclear, and presumably they don't want that."
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev hit back at Sikorski's comments in a post on X, formerly Twitter, saying that US strikes on Russian targets would result in a "world war."

“US NEWS and the GOVT...but I repeat myself.... tell us all the time what Russia says.”
So does our rezident nomenklatura here on FR.
Would a nation want to nuke territory it wants to conquest. I am not a brilliant DEI general but it seems that it would be a bad idea and nukes are only really useful as a deterrent. Not for capturing territory.
Hey Flame Bait Garbage meggie,
I see 2 of your threads were yanked by JimRob today.
He called the first thread, “Flame bait”.

And the second one, “Garbage”.

JimRob’s got your number, meggie.
And you thought you were so clever today, reporting the posts of pro-America FReepers.
How’s it feel?
The United States will not go go to war with Russia.
Russia sees this as a threat to her survival.
Keep poking the bear watch it happen. The US cannot confront Russia conventionally without Russia striking the United States.
I call BS on these loud mouthed NATO warmongering idiots.
Europe might be hit very hard but Washington isn’t going to risk a war with Russia over some Polish sausage overcooked.
Absolutely correct.
They have issued them on three occasions. Each one very specifically. France and Britain STFU after the last one in the Foreign Ministry.
I saw that too. Liberals on FR belong elsewhere.
And who might that be?
I expect Meggie to hit the abuse button whenever somebody says America First because she finds that phrase "offensive" and "profane."

That earns a donation from me. Going to the donate board right now. Thanks, Jim!
>>>>I saw that too. Liberals on FR belong elsewhere.<<<<
They’re here to cause dissension and drive FR into the ground...to silence a voice for FREEDOM.
>>>>”rezident nomenklatura”<<<<
Meggie learned a lot of Russian words while in training at the Ukraine Ministry of Propaganda.
Spelling, however, was not her strong point.
She probably just learned the bare necessities.

And if zeepers could get away with it, they’d bash President Trump because they know he’ll force their punk hero Zelensky to sit down with Putin and work out a peace plan.
No more pouring American Taxpayer Dollars into Volodymyr’s money laundering scam.
Remember the pic of her at Walmart looking for size 3XXX undies to match her bandana?
Meggies bare necessities are the size of a pup tent.
Sikorski is calling Russia's bluff and saying publicly what has been said behind closed doors privately.
US military doctrine in no way dictates what decisions the Executive, Congress or other governments make. If Russia were to nuke Ukraine and Biden and Congress tell the military to attack Russian targets, the military will attack Russian targets regardless of the SIOP.
