If Russia applies nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the United States will destroy the Black Sea Fleet - General

According to Lieutenant General Ben Gogeges, the Pentagon's response may not be nuclear, but no less devastating. Military bases in Crimea can be destroyed. The use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine by the United States will be answered by a "devastating blow" on Russian military bases or the Black Sea Fleet-with such a warning on September 21, former commander of US troops in Europe in Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Gorse, reports The Daily Mail.

America's response may not be nuclear, but it will not prevent the US armed forces to destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet or Crimean military bases. Such a comment was announced on the Russian president's declaration of partial mobilization in Russia to continue the bloody invasion of the sovereignty territory of Ukraine.

Addressing his words to NATO representatives, the Kremlin head reported that there would be any available means, including nuclear, to protect the territories captured or prepared for annexation. According to Putin, in the event of a threat of territorial integrity of the Russian Federation and to protect residents, the Russian military command will inevitably use everything possible. At the same time, he stressed that it was not a bluff on his part.

General Gogess, who was in charge of the US army in Europe in the period 2014-2018, is considering the threat of nuclear strike in Ukraine is very unlikely. However, he said, for any use of weapons of mass defeat will be a quick and rigid response from President Baiden. According to Goodges, Putin is aware that the US will answer.

"Perhaps the US answer will not be nuclear, but quite devastating, for example, for the destruction of the Black Sea Fleet or Russian bases in the Crimea," Gosse explained. "So I think that Putin and his environment do not want a direct clash with the United States. " However, the US brigade, retired Kevin Ryan, believes that Putin can be desperate after the defeat of Russian troops in the Kharkiv region and, against the background of this, to resort to nuclear weapons as the last means.

Recall that the entire Fleet of the Russian Federation will soon be in reaching the Armed Forces missiles. Now the entire Russian Black Sea fleet is hidden behind the peninsula, but with the approach of the Armed Forces counter -offensive will be in a disadvantageous position for defense. Earlier, focus reported that Putin could use nuclear weapons after a fracture.
