U.S. Senate To Consider Bill To Declare NATO's Article 5 If Russia's Actions In Ukraine Results In A Nuclear Incident

 

EurActiv: Nuclear cloud will trigger NATO’s Article 5, US warns Russia 

The US Senate has introduced a resolution which proposes that the actions of Russia, Belarus “or proxy of Russia” be considered as an attack on NATO, if their actions lead to radioactive contamination of the allies’ territory. 

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democrat Richard Blumenthal made the statements at a news conference on Thursday (22 June). While the US has already warned Russia of dire consequences should the Kremlin make use of tactical nuclear weapons, this is the first time that US officials say this also applies if Russia engineers a nuclear accident at a civil nuclear central.

Check out the above video. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democrat Richard Blumenthal  are laying the groundwork to escalate and expand the Russia - Ukraine war that will involve NATO, including the use of nuclear weapons. That NATO will go to war against Russia even if Russia does not attack them.

Read between the lines. A message/threat is being sent to the Kremlin that if Russia's counter counteroffensive pushes back Ukraine, there will be a nuclear incident that will be blamed on Russia and Russia will be destroyed. 

Bottom line. They are lowering the threshold that will get NATO involved in this war.

This is a profound shift in US policy, and endangers all of us if these US Senators get their way.
