According to the report, Vladimir Putin crossed a line that Western leaders hoped would hold, issuing a nuclear ultimatum demanding Ukraine's complete capitulation. Within six hours, the United States responded with one of the largest emergency military aid packages in the war's history: $2.3 billion in advanced weaponry, including extended-range ATACMS missiles, Patriot defense systems, and authorization for strikes deep into Russian territory.
The report added that Intelligence officials reveal this wasn't panic, it was preparation, the result of months of contingency planning for exactly this scenario. As NATO monitors Russian nuclear forces around the clock and Ukraine refuses to negotiate under threats, we're witnessing a fundamental test: can nuclear blackmail divide democracies, or does it unite them? Putin miscalculated what Washington anticipated, and why this ultimatum may have already backfired.
