Ukraine's attacks risk nuclear escalation; Putin may retaliate. Western leaders, especially Trump, show poor judgment and lack strategic caution.

Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. How concerning are the recent attacks by Ukraine on Russian civilian and military infrastructure?

2. Do you believe these attacks could lead to a major escalation, such as a nuclear response from Russia?

3. Are Western leaders, including Trump, showing enough caution and responsibility in handling the Ukraine conflict?

Col. Larry Wilkerson:

1. These attacks violate long-standing international norms, especially targeting nuclear assets, which could destabilize global security.

2. Yes, Putin may feel justified in responding with nuclear weapons, given historical precedents and the severity of the strikes.

3. No, Western leadership—particularly Trump and his administration—lacks awareness, responsibility, and strategic understanding of the dangers involved.
