In fact, \u201cNATO intervention\u201d is an invitation to a world war \u2014 one that Vladimir Putin would not turn down.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, what is Cheney talking about when she mentions NATO in the same breath as \u201cintervention\u201d? She doesn\u2019t mean the NATO alliance; she means the United States. The U.S. is the only nation capable of ferrying thousands of troops to the battlefield in Ukraine in a matter of days. We\u2019d have our troops deployed before any other NATO member would have mustered more than a handful of troops.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a class=\"hl\" title=\"It&#039;s Time for Syria&#039;s Assad to Repay His Debt to Putin\" href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/news-and-politics\/rick-moran\/2022\/03\/20\/its-time-for-syrias-assad-to-repay-his-debt-to-putin-n1567992\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It\u2019s Time for Syria\u2019s Assad to Repay His Debt to Putin<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/She added Russian President Vladimir Putin&#039;s actions so far have demonstrated that the Russian military is nowhere near as capable as the world perhaps thought it was and \" probably not as capable Putin thought it was>The Hill:<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>She added Russian President\u00a0<span class=\"rollover-people\" data-behavior=\"rolloverpeople\"><a class=\"rollover-people-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/people\/vladimir-putin\" data-nid=\"440511\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vladimir Putin<\/a><\/span>\u2018s actions so far have demonstrated that the Russian military is nowhere near as capable as the world perhaps thought it was and \u201cprobably not as capable as Putin thought it was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd they need to understand that if the brutality here increases, the United States will contemplate and consider every possible range of actions along with our NATO allies,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The Wyoming Republican added that it\u2019s important that Russia knows that \u201cwe will contemplate changing the calculation in terms of humanitarian challenges and the humanitarian devastation the Ukrainian people are facing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If we\u2019re going to \u201ccontemplate and consider every possible range of action,\u201d we better include the use of nuclear weapons in contemplating war with Russia.
