I think Biden also said (though a surrogate) that it would depend on how big of an attack it was.
Biden says "NATO would respond" if Russia uses chemical weapons in Ukraine:

He actually said it directly. The type of attack would determine the type of response. I did read a western official said it was unlikely NATO would become involved even in a chemical attack on Ukraine, but take that for what it's worth.I think Biden also said (though a surrogate) that it would depend on how big of an attack it was.
It's still on the table now officially for NATO to intervene... They have drawn a line for themselves.I think Biden also said (though a surrogate) that it would depend on how big of an attack it was.
Oh sure, it's on the table. Has been for a bit.It's still on the table now officially for NATO to intervene... They have drawn a line.
Personally, I think the only thing that would force a NATO intervention is nuke use, or a chemical attack effecting a NATO country.Oh sure, it's on the table. Has been for a bit.
If Russia attacks chemically, what are we looking at. What did they do in Syria?
I understand the statement but that's like me saying I'll only call the fire department if the fire spreads past my kitchen. Like no if you're gonna go full force go for it. Russia would totally take the advantage if the US and NATO only halfass it.I think Biden also said (though a surrogate) that it would depend on how big of an attack it was.
Yes that is what worries me. I know our missiles have the best accuracy. But sometimes our intel is not acurate on the battle field. We could easily kill Russians with the type of retaliatory responce for Chemical Weapons as we did in Syria.What did they do in Syria?
In Syria it was easy to hit back because we just struck Syrian targets. Only enemy targets in Ukraine are Russian using Russian flags, can't retaliate without hitting Russian assets.What would we hit? We would have to hit Russian hardware to prevent another WMD attack. It's not like its rebel or Ukraine hardware using WMDs.
There is only two ways to respond hit Russian concentrations in Ukraine or bases in Belarus or Russia that are launching from.In Syria it was easy to hit back because we just struck Syrian targets.

I mean yea. What other scenarios or possible outcomes can you think of?...I still think (personal opinion) that any CW use will be against Russia's own troops in order to give Putin the excuse he needs to go all-in.

Nuclear response.What's all in?
If you want to launch nukes you don't need a reason by using cw against own troops. Seriously.Nuclear response.
