Borrell Says Russian Army Would be ‘Annihilated’ if Putin Uses Nukes in Ukraine
Lloyd Austin was vague about how NATO would respond during an earlier speech.
Note To Readers: Please watch my interview with Scott Ritter where we dive deep into the current geo-political crisis between NATO and Russia. We both believe WWIII has begun, and we must do everything we can to stop it or face nuclear annihilation. Scott Ritter explains, “there is a dissociation between the political and economic elite, and the sheep. We must stop being sheep and stand up, this is terminal.”
Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy head, said at an event in Belgium on Thursday that Russia’s military would be annihilated by overwhelming force if Moscow uses nuclear weapons during its war with Ukraine.

Borrell was speaking at a European Diplomatic Academy event in Bruges and said Russian President Vladimir Putin has assured the world that he is not bluffing vis a vis nuclear weapons.
"It has to be clear that the people supporting Ukraine and the European Union and the member states, and the United States and NATO are not bluffing neither," he said. “And any nuclear attack against Ukraine will create an answer -- not a nuclear answer but such a powerful answer from the military side -- that the Russian army will be annihilated, and Putin should not be bluffing."
EuroNews reported that it contacted a European Commission spokesman about Borrell’s comments and was told that a nuclear strike in Ukraine would be a “total game-changer.”
Borrell made the comment after Lloyd Austin, the U.S. defense secretary, told a NATO meeting that the alliance will “not be dragged into Russia’s war of choice but we will stand by Ukraine as it fights to defend itself.”
He accused Putin of “nuclear saber-rattling,” but did not commit to how the U.S. would respond if Russia used the weapon.
