Nuclear threat, but not only. According to General Vincent Desport, a former director of the Military School, almost two weeks after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin still has the means to increase pressure. “Everyone knows that Mr. Putin is at an impasse, as he believes this Monday at Les Grandes Gueules on RMC and RMC Story. He is bound to follow the normal logic of war, which is the logic of escalation. But Mr. Putin did not give all the power he was capable of. We know that there are two weapons that he did not use and that can be used in Russian doctrine, that is, in Soviet doctrine.

“Putin definitely didn’t destroy his stockpiles of chemical weapons”
“This is, on the one hand, the use of tactical nuclear weapons, that is, in Ukraine,” continues General Vincent Desportes. “It is normal in the Russian army when someone experiences military difficulties on the ground, to move to the next level. offensive, we will fire tactical nuclear weapons, at a city or at a concentration of the enemy. Which would completely change the nature of the war and hit the world. The second type of weapon that Mr. Putin has not used, what he can use and what he probably We can see that he’s not a big fan of international treaties. He doesn’t. He certainly hasn’t destroyed his chemical weapons stockpiles. much more than the Ukrainians.”
“He is a man who will not be stopped by violence”
For General Vincent Desportes, “Ukraine will win in the long run” because “whatever happens, Mr. Putin will lose the peace.” “As for the immediate war, we don’t see how he could lose it,” he explains. We know that he is a man who can be extremely cruel. he dealt with Aleppo (Syria). He is a man whom nothing will stop in using violence to achieve his goals. We must remember the history of Russia. This is the history of scorched earth.
And after Ukraine, Vladimir Putin may attack another neighboring country. “The next target is Moldova, Russian tanks are 50 km away,” says General Vincent Desportes. No treaty protects Moldova. But nothing prevents America, the great defender of freedom and democracy, from sending soldiers there. America claims to be the great defender of NATO, the one who defends the West. Why do we have a relatively small army in Europe today? This is because America has always claimed our protection. Instead of speeches and weapons, we would like speeches and deeds. There is still time to act. We must not wait too long.
