BREAKING: Poland PM Issues Warning as U.S. Alerts on Russia Threat - w/ Malcolm Nance

What was said

"If they were to nuke a city like Kharkiv or Chernihiv or Dnipro or Zaporizhzhia or something like that, war would end because NATO would be both feet in same day. No one can be allowed to set off a tactical nuclear weapon, period. Done."

Malcolm Nance states that any Russian use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine would trigger immediate full NATO military intervention, with the U.S. 82nd Airborne deploying from Poland within a day. He reveals that during Ukraine's 2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces were issued NATO gas masks and chemical protection gear due to serious concerns about Russian chemical or tactical nuclear weapons use. Nance argues prevailing winds would blow nuclear fallout back into Russia, making such strikes strategically counterproductive.
