What if Putin Uses a Nuke?

With the war in Ukraine going so poorly for Putin, could he be tempted to use nuclear weapons? David Rothkopf explores this question and how the West should respond with former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Doug Lute, David Sanger of the New York Times, Emma Belcher of the Ploughshares Fund, and Jon Wolfsthal of Global Zero. Would Putin use tactical nuclear weapons? How could the U.S. respond so that it is not too much and not too little? Will America fall into the trap of overspending on defense or will this be an opportunity to spend less smarter? The answers to all these questions and more in this thoughtful conversation. Join us!
