According to a former U.S. intelligence officer, the United States does not have an adequate plan in place to respond to a nuclear attack from Russia.

The U.S. has a strategic plan, according to Rebekah Koffler, a former U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency agent.

Russia claims to hit UKRAINE with a nuclear missile.

The fact that we have not responded in a methodical manner to any of Putin's actions nor have we deterred any of his actions is reason to be concerned.

We were caught off guard regardless of the fact that Putin never made it a secret what he was going to do, yet we are grasping at straws.

Koffler said they didn't say anything after Putin said he changed the combat readiness status.

According to Koffler, the United States should be very active in putting together a contingency plan and establishing back channels to prevent Putin from de-escalating the war through escalation.

Koffler believes that Putin is capable of using a nuclear weapon.

Koffler said that Putin has high risk tolerance.

Koffler said that Putin is using a plan to show the world that he has a high tolerance for warfare.

She said that it was a game-changer because they were trying to send a strategic message.

Koffler said that the potential use of a nuclear weapon is crazy and outside the realm of possibility. He is attacking Ukraine in the most brutal way possible.

Koffler explained that the nuclear option isn't necessarily one of the next steps Putin will take, but that it can be ruled out if you drive Putin into the corner.
