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."

“No. You are a Democrat to talk about stolen land.”
I see, so those countries voluntarily gave them up. Another warmongering foreign weirdo shooting his mouth off and polluting our forum.
You are the one talking about stolen land, pro “Palestinian” and pro native American much?
“pro native American much?”
Well yeah, my with and kids happen to be NA.
“and pro native American much?”
Thinking on this more it seems a little racist to me. I used to scorn the claims about Nazis and Ukraine, but between this and that certain mixusmaxus guy and his Mongols>> Russians filth, maybe I should reconsider.
And exactly ‘what’ did adherence to Dynamic Borders (if I can take it I own it) do for the NAs over 300 years? It got a lot of them gone, with the survivors sent to reservations, surrounded by guard towers.
Civility requires self-control. Every nation and people in the world went thru a time of ‘dynamic ownership’ and they all have laws and enforcement methods as a result. Most respect those laws, yet others still do not. Fine. Just as the impulse to steal and kill is fundamental so is the determination to protect against it. One is more enduring than the other.
Not surprising you side with Russia then.
Save it. I’m not siding with anyone. I dislike both sides and their brother Belarus. They’re all cut from the same cloth. What I’m against is warmongers pushing for war with Russia.
Oh, so Russia invades and conquers its neighbors (Chechnya, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Crimea) the West provides arms to its current victim, and you consider that “pushing for war with Russia”?
Because what... Russia has the right to invade, conquer and annex nations?
Mongoos>>Russians?
Muscowy started off with the Dukes of Moscow being the tax collectors for the Khagan of the Golden horde. Collecting tax from the othe Rus states.
They then unilaterally declared themselves Grand Dukes.
And later, when the Golden horde split into multiple Khanates all competing to be the great Khan, Muscowy joined in that competition and won.
The net result is that the Muscowite political culture is Mongol. Not Mongol as a race but the conquest culture of Temujin. Despotic, highly centralised and highly corrupt.
Ukraine arose from Cossacks, so more anarchic, just as the pre Mongol Kyivan Rus were.
Belarus was the most cultured, but after the union with Poland the cultured classes and upper classes got polonized.
Stop this stupidity. This has been the tired old line for two years. That because we are opposed to aiding Ukraine or fighting Russia that we are endorsing their activities and supporting them. It’s a disgusting lie.
We don’t care about your silly ethnic hatreds. We don’t care about who started what or why. We are Americans mostly. Many of our ancestors left the old country to escape your nasty ethnic and religious hatreds and persecutions. Now you foreigners want to spread that here.
BS.
Morality is neither disgusting nor a lie. It is the basis of civilization.
You condone Russia invading and annexing Ukraine to expand it borders?
Then China - South Korea and Taiwan; Venezuela - Guyana, etc.
Dupe or troll. I don’t care. You’re too stupid to live in a civilized world. So you don’t.
Maybe read the forums?

Dupe or troll. I don’t care. You’re too stupid to live in a civilized world. So you don’t.”
Read my posts, nowhere have I ever condoned or supported Russia’s actions. That’s the usual lying accusation from the warmongering crowd. It’s false and a crazed stretch.

WTF! You describe supporting a nation defending itself against invasion as warmongering!
Proves you side with the belligerent and support redrawing borders thru invasion.
FKN FSB Troll account
“WTF! You describe supporting a nation defending itself against invasion as warmongering!”
People like you trying to drag other nations in is warmongering. That’s what you are doing. Trying to get NATO (meaning the USA) in a war with Russia. It is a dirty ethnic border war that we have no business in.
Wrong. I oppose invasion and re-drawing borders by force whereas you condone it. ‘Split-the-difference’ amorality ALWAYS favors the worst aggressor.
Yet you are the one pushing silly ethnic hatreds by complaining about “land stolen”.
Again, you lie. That tired old line that if we don’t agree with you, we’re supporting Russia. It’s a vicious smear.
“Yet you are the one pushing silly ethnic hatreds by complaining about “land stolen”.”
In your hotheaded Ukrainian nationalist pride, you missed the point. Ukraine is hardly the innocent victim when Russia stole the Crimea. One bastard deserves another.
“Again, you lie. That tired old line that if we don’t agree with you”
Who’s the “we” troll?
You lie. You say don’t support UKR defending against invasion cuz you don’t want to support “warmongering” yet you refuse to acknowledge that Russia started and perpetuates the war. Yeah, don’t interrupt the bully is essentially supporting wars for conquest.
You’re a amoral, not recognizing what is just, civil or stable. Redrawing borders through invasion and conquest is grossly unstable and immoral. It will get millions killed. You of course know this and do not wish for it to be opposed. YOU are the warmonger and liar.
Is your name Neville Chamberlain III? Because you are a coward and act the part.
