The Russian WMD Threat in Ukraine
Last updated 6:17 PM ET
Today on the RealClearDefense podcast "Hot Wash", host John Sorensen and RCD Editor David Craig continue coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine by speaking to David Lasseter, former Deputy Assitant Secretary of Defense for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction and a visiting Fellow at the National Security Institute. He is also recently the author of an article on RealClearDefense, “Putin’s Disinformation & Opportunity: Weapons of Mass Destruction.”
Putin has put Russia's nuclear forces on alert, but are chemical and biological weapons more likely threats in Ukraine? How does Putin’s history of using disinformation affect calculations of possible escalations?
