Russia's Nuclear Ultimatum FREEZES NATO — Alliance in Crisis Mode | John Mearsheimer

At 3:47 AM Brussels time, NATO leaders were summoned to an emergency meeting with no staff, no translators, and no records—something has gone catastrophically wrong. Vladimir Putin just made a nuclear threat so specific and credible that NATO intelligence confirmed Russia has already deployed tactical nuclear weapons in Kaliningrad, Crimea, and Belarus aimed at NATO forces. The threat includes predelegation of launch authority, meaning Russian field commanders can use nuclear weapons without Putin's approval if communications are disrupted. NATO now faces impossible choices: retreat and prove nuclear coercion works, escalate and risk nuclear war, or maintain positions while populations demand de-escalation. Every option contradicts NATO's stated objectives, and European polls show 70%+ oppose risking nuclear conflict over Ukrainian territory—this is what strategic paralysis looks like.
