U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told 60 Minutes the Kremlin has a nuclear 'chain of command' but it's uncertain whether anyone would tell Russian President Vladimir Putin 'no' if he decides to launch a nuclear weapon.
the Kremlin has a nuclear"chain of command" but it's uncertain whether anyone would tell Russian President Vladimir Putin"no" if he decides to launch a nuclear weapon.
Blinken said Putin's rhetoric is"irresponsible" and added that the U.S. expressed their concerns to Russia about its threats. "Yes," Blinken said."It's very important that Moscow hear from us and know from us that the consequences would be horrific. And we've made that very clear." Meanwhile, a U.N. commission found evidence of rape and torture of children in Russian-occupied Ukraine. Blinken said he saw very clear evidence of war crimes first-hand when he visited Ukraine a couple weeks ago.
Last Thursday, when atrocities in Ukraine were laid out before the U.N. Security Council, the Russian foreign minister said they were staged and claimed Russia was a victim. Blinken responded to Lavrov's claims in Pelley's interview.
