Experts have debated the conditions under
\nwhich Russia would use nuclear weapons in its
\nwar against Ukraine. Most agree that Russian
\nnuclear use cannot be ruled out. How, then, should
\nthe US and NATO proceed in the face of such danger? Russia has not explicitly directed nuclear threats
\nagainst NATO; however, since the very beginning of
\nthe war Russian President Vladimir Putin has engaged
\nin nuclear sabre-rattling to deter the West from directly intervening in Ukraine. A low yield nuclear strike
\nagainst Ukraine \u2013 or a non-NATO member \u2013 could
\nquickly escalate and draw Allies into the war. Russian
\nnuclear threats have thus unsettled the alliance, and
\nmore broadly weakened the nuclear taboo shared by a
\nlarge majority of nations.<\/p>\n
