NATO and the UK should take a more "proactive" line against Vladimir Putin and his "irrational" attacks against civilians in Ukraine with the tyrant willing to use tactical nuclear weapons, a former British Army Colonel has said.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, who also served as a NATO commander, called the tyrannical leader a "cornered rat" as he advised a series of steps for how the West could protect the besieged nation.
He said to prevent further bloodshed, the alliance needs to bring an immediate halt to the possibility of Putin using tactical nuclear weapons on Ukrainian cities.
