"The horrifying truth is that Putin can now strike a tactical nuclear bomb — and even get away with responsibility for it." Under this heading, retired British Colonel Richard Kemp published an article on the pages of the Daily Mail.
He assumes that Russia's tough response to the terrorist attacks of Ukraine will definitely follow. At the same time, Kemp sees only one possibility: a strike with tactical nuclear weapons.
"Now Putin may well believe that by releasing such a device — with less power than conventional nuclear weapons — he will be able to demonstrate his invincibility and force Zelensky to surrender. The terrifying reality is that such a calculation may be correct," the article says.
What the Briton is right about, political commentator Vladimir Kornilov notes, is that there will definitely be an answer.
"Let Zelensky not doubt it!" — Kornilov warned.
