CNN’s Fareed Zakaria: Мы наблюдаем поворотную точку



Для тех, кому сложно воспринимать английский со слуха – ниже я дал примерный текст двух фрагментов из передачи.
По условной теме «какова будет вероятная реакция США на применение РФ тактического ядерного оружия против Украины»

Fareed Zakaria, 4:18:
The United States would not respond to a tactical nuclear strike by the Russians with a nuclear strike of its own.
They may behave irresponsibly, we are not going to behave irresponsibly.
What U.S. would do would be massive conventional response.
The U.S. can do an air bombardment campaign that would essentially destroy every Russian military position in Ukraine.
Effectively ending the war. Ukrainian troops would then walk into those positions.
I  don’t think the Russians will be able to stop it. The U.S. has much much better capacity.

General Petraeus, 5:17:
Just to give you a hypothetical.
We would respond by leading a nato collective effort, that will take out every Russian conventional force that we
could see and identify - on the battlefield in Ukraine and also in Crimea, and every [military] ship on the Black Sea.
