“NATO has talked a lot, done too much and done little.” General Leonardo Tricarico, President of the ICSA Foundation, former Air Force Chief of Staff, does not do things by halves in his speech during Enrico Cisnetto’s War Room. Tricarico is very harsh on the leaders of the Atlantic Alliance when it comes to managing the conflict between Russia and Ukraine: “She lazily, even with a certain cowardice, watched what was happening on Ukrainian soil. Putin has crossed the same red line for which NATO has intervened on at least two other occasions, in the war in the Balkans when he bombed Milosevic for 78 days under the name of “humanitarian interference” and in the war in Libya with a final UN Resolution to put an end to Gaddafi’s atrocities”.
But Tricarico has an even more terrible fear that would doom Kyiv to its ultimate demise: “I fear that even if Putin were to use a tactical nuclear weapon on cities, NATO would not intervene to avoid the risk of a largescale nuclear escalation. This hypothesis, of which I am not sure, deserves to be discussed”.
