It turns out, there might be a straightforward way to avoid armageddon here.
At first, the generals in the room discussed how many nuclear weapons the U.S. should fire back, and at what targets. But then Colin Kahl, Vice President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, raised his hand. You’re missing the big picture, he told the generals. Once Russia drops a nuclear bomb, we face a “world-defining moment”—an opportunity to rally the entire world against Russia, to isolate and weaken Moscow politically, economically, and militarily.
, he replied, “You think I would tell you if I knew exactly what it would be? Of course, I’m not gonna tell you. It will be consequential. [The Russians] will become more of a pariah in the world than they ever have been. And depending on the extent of what they do will determine what response would occur.”This answer left open the possibility of responding to nukes with nukes. Any president would keep that option open, if just to deter Putin from striking first.
