>NATO leadership is contemplating the possibility of conducting precise preemptive strikes on Russian territoryin the event of an armed conflict between Moscow and the Alliance.
>- It is smarter not to sit and wait until we are attacked, but to target Russian launchers if they attack. We must deliver the first strike - said Bauer.
Is this dude on drugs or something.
He is talking like an idiot, a preemptive strike is the first strike and not a response strike.
If Russia attacks then Russia will have made the first strike. A preemptive strike is to prevent an attack and not a response to a strike.
