Retired Col. Douglas Macgregor asserts that NATO's Article 5 will not trigger a US nuclear response to conventional attacks on Baltic states.

Douglas Macgregor argues that the US will not use nuclear weapons in response to an Article 5 activation by Baltic states like Lithuania, Latvia, or Estonia, calling such an assumption absurd. He warns that the US has already exhausted most of its missile arsenal and lacks the manufacturing capacity to win an attrition-based conflict against Russia or China.
