7.84 -> >>> A SENIOR NATO OFFICIAL IS
9.976 -> WARNING THAT A POTENTIAL RUSSIAN
11.945 -> NUCLEAR STRIKE WOULD ALMOST
13.446 -> CERTAINLY TRIGGER A PHYSICAL
18.751 -> RESPONSE FROM MANY ALLIES,
20.019 -> POTENTIALLY FROM NATO ITSELF.
22.555 -> THE COMMENTS CAME AS DEFENSE
27.527 -> MINISTERS DISCUSSED HOW TO BEST
28.761 -> HELP UKRAINE.
29.729 -> AS RUSSIA CONTINUES THE AERIAL
34.3 -> BOMBARDMENT OF UKRAINE, PUTIN
36.202 -> HAS BEEN MAKING VEILED THREATS
41.974 -> OF A NUCLEAR ATTACK.
45.745 -> >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ABOUT
46.946 -> THESE NUCLEAR THREATS.
50.649 -> TO BE CLEAR, U.S. OFFICIALS THEY
51.517 -> SAY THEY DON'T THINK THAT RUSSIA
53.353 -> IS ABOUT TO USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS
56.155 -> BUT WHAT THEY SAY IS THEY ARE
57.924 -> LISTENING TO THE THREATS AND
59.158 -> TAKING THEM SERIOUSLY.
59.993 -> YOU WORKED IN THIS FIELD.
61.694 -> TALK TO US ABOUT, IN THEORY, HOW
64.664 -> RUSSIA MIGHT USE TACTICAL
65.932 -> NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
66.933 -> >> A TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPON IS
68.668 -> REALLY A BORDER WEAPON IT HAS
72.471 -> RANGE OF 15 TO 20 MILES.
75.575 -> BUT TREMENDOUS DESTRUCTION
77.11 -> CAPABILITY.
77.51 -> LOOK AT A SITUATION WHERE RUSSIA
78.978 -> HAS A DOCTRINE THAT SAYS WE
81.414 -> ESCALATE WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO
85.518 -> DE-ESCALATE SHOULD WE BE
86.352 -> ATTACKED CONVENTIONALLY.
89.022 -> YOU SEE RUSSIAN TROOPS ON THIS
90.323 -> SIDE OF THE RIVER.
91.357 -> AS THEY GET PUSHED ACROSS HERE,
93.893 -> THAT RIVER BECOMES THE NATURAL
96.663 -> BOUNDARY THAT RUSSIA WILL CLAIM
99.165 -> THEY CAN FIRE NUCLEAR WEAPONS
101.434 -> INTO THIS AREA THAT WOULD RENDER
103.77 -> THAT AREA USELESS, YOU WON'T
105.938 -> HAVE ANY OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS
108.908 -> THERE AND KEEP UKRAINE TROOPS
109.676 -> OUT OF IT.
110.71 -> I THINK THE TARGET WILL BE
112.878 -> UKRAINE MILITARY.
115.949 -> THAT'S WHAT THEY DO, IT FORCES
118.017 -> THEM INTO PLAY, IT DOESN'T ALLOW
119.786 -> THEM TO MOVE.
120.586 -> >> NO ONE IS SAYING THAT THIS
122.555 -> WILL HAPPEN.
123.289 -> THIS IS A SUGGESTION OF HOW
124.857 -> RUSSIA COULD USE THESE WEAPONS.
126.693 -> AND IT WOULD BE TO TAKE THIS
128.861 -> ENTIRE AREA OFF THE BATTLEFIELD,
130.53 -> SOME WAYS TAKING IT OFF THE
133.132 -> EARTH TALKING ABOUT TACTICAL
134.333 -> NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
136.436 -> YOU WERE IN THIS FIELD IN THE
138.037 -> '80s, WHAT DID THE U.S. LEARN OR
140.606 -> THINK ABOUT WHETHER NUCLEAR
141.941 -> WEAPONS COULD BE USED IN A
144.577 -> LIMITED WAY?
144.977 -> >> WE REALIZED IT WASN'T THE
147.046 -> DETERRENT WE THOUGHT IT WAS
148.014 -> GOING TO BE.
149.148 -> WE HAD TACTICAL TROOPS WELL
151.984 -> POSITIONED IN GERMANY IN THE
153.219 -> TIME AND USE THEM AS A RETREAT
155.621 -> AND WITHDRAW AS RUSSIAN TROOPS
157.056 -> WERE COMING, WE WERE OUTNUMBERED
159.859 -> 6 TO 1 AT THE TIME, WE HAD NO
162.662 -> EXPECTATIONS WE NEEDED THE
164.13 -> WEAPONS TO KEEP THE RUSSIAN
165.231 -> TROOPS FROM COMING TOWARDS US,
167.433 -> IT RENDERS THE LAND WORTHLESS AS
170.837 -> THEY COME THROUGH THE NUCLEAR
172.638 -> WASTE LAND THEY'RE EXPOSED TO
174.707 -> RADIO ACTIVE AND INCREASES THE
177.61 -> CASUALTIES.
178.01 -> >> THE IDEA OF A LIMITED NUCLEAR
179.746 -> USE, THERE WAS NO WAY TO LIMIT
181.714 -> IT.
181.981 -> ONCE YOU START IT ROLLS OUT OF
183.716 -> CONTROL.
184.083 -> >> YES.
185.051 -> ESCALATING.
185.451 -> AND WE GO FROM TACTUAL TO
188.955 -> STRATEGIC NUKES SO HOW ARE THEY
191.891 -> DELIVERED?
193.526 -> ARTILLERY TUBES THAT'S ONE
194.394 -> THING.
194.694 -> BUT SUBMARINES OR COMING FROM
197.129 -> THE AIR, THAT CHANGES THEM.
200.4 -> THEY'RE NOW STRATEGIC NUKES AND
203.202 -> THOSE CAN GO DEEPER IN UKRAINE.
204.47 -> >> LET'S GO BACK TO WHAT'S
206.706 -> ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
207.473 -> WE'VE SEEN THE RUSSIANS HITTING
210.076 -> UKRAINE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
211.077 -> FROM THE AIR.
212.412 -> THE UKRAINIANS CLAIM THEY'RE
213.646 -> SHOOTING DOWN ABOUT HALF OF THE
215.415 -> RUSSIAN MISSILES COMING IN.
216.916 -> WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN
218.418 -> ACCURATE NUMBER OR NOT.
219.786 -> BUT WHAT WOULD THE UKRAINIANS
221.387 -> NEED IN ORDER TO DEFEND
222.522 -> THEMSELVES?
222.922 -> >> THEY NEED MORE ADVANCED AIR
224.724 -> DEFENSE PLATFORMS.
225.958 -> THEY WON'T GET THEM IN TIME.
227.66 -> WE'RE CLAIMING WE'RE GOING TO
229.996 -> SEND THEM BETTER SYSTEMS, BUT
231.631 -> THE BOTTOM LINE IS RUSSIA IS
234.534 -> USING THE SUPERSONIC AND
237.437 -> HYPERSONIC MISSILES.
238.638 -> THERE'S NO CAPABILITY TO SHOOT
240.472 -> THEM DOWN.
241.04 -> I THINK THE NUMBERS ARE HIGHLY
243.176 -> EXAGGERATED.
243.576 -> IT DOESN'T APPEAR THERE'
