Yeah but didn’t NATO specifically stage the other day that any form of radioactive contamination of member states will result in troops on Russian soil?
Deleted my previous comment I was unaware of such a resolution but you and previous commentators are correct. Statement on “nuclear cloud” has been made by NATO as a red line, which is terrifying.
What NATO red lines were crossed. Remember these have to be stated. By nato. Not a nato member on their own. Much like russian ones are only legitamate when putin states them.
But it was more of a “whatever” intervention, rather than the actual intervention that a red line implies.
But the British House of Commons refused to support the strikes. Worried about alienating Congress, Obama also backed down. On its own by this point, France had no choice but to back down too. François Hollande, then French president, was convinced that this was “a missed opportunity that could have changed the course of the war”.
Western powers opted for the path of diplomacy instead.

The US is putting forth a resolution that any radioactive material falling on a NATO ally is an act of war and will warrant retaliation.

Yeah this is insane. I wonder how many private jets are headed towards New Zealand today.
Me dumb. What does New Zealand have to do with anything?
Private jets, not fighter jets.
TL;DR: New Zealand might as well be Vault-Tec headquarters

I mean Syria used chemical weapons which was Obama’s red line. “Nothing” happened after that.
Obama isn’t NATO, he’s only a commander-in-chief of a large military that happens to also be a primary member of the NATO treaty.
This red line was still used by the US, Britain, France, etc as a justification to bomb Syria.
