Yesterday the president Biden at the NATO summit he said that if Russia uses chemical agents such as those launched in Syria "we will reply and the nature of the reply will depend on the nature of their use ”.
For the NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg "Russian rhetoric aims to look for pretexts to prepare for the use of chemical weapons ”. Stoltenberg also threatens severe consequences in the event of chemical warfare in Ukraine, also due to the contaminating effects on the populations of NATO countries.
The United States takes cover and prevents the irreparable by instituting, under the leadership of the National Security Advisor Jake sullivan, a task force of experts called 'Tiger Team", Which according to the" New York Times "meets three times a week in a" secret "bunker to discuss the moves and counter-moves to be put in place against Putin, should he ever dare with a CBRN attack - Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear.
The chancelleries around the world are nervous Putin's nuclear warheads (over 4500), of which 2000 can be transported by hypersonic super missiles which in a few minutes are able to reach the various European capitals without them being able to defend themselves even if in possession of the most modern anti-missile systems. Hypersonic missiles travel at unthinkable speeds, up to Mach10, that is ten times the speed of sound and rise into the atmosphere to where the air is extremely thin, make their race, then plummet from the sky directly onto the target. It is impossible to intercept them.
The 2000 nuclear warheads mentioned are compact in size, have a particular bombable material, plutonium and are of limited power, from 1 to 2 kilotons. Each mini warhead is capable of razing cities of 100 people to the ground.
With Putin increasingly at the corner on the international scene but also internally, the threat of the use of unconventional weapons is becoming more and more concrete and NATO is doing what it can: for now it has decided to send doctors and equipment to Ukraine for CBRN defense.
