Can NATO just say enough is enough? Attacking food storage will have as large of an effect as the use of a nuclear weapon. The loss in food supply, in theory, would be directly responsible for tens of thousands of starvation related deaths.
NATO has stated that if nuclear weapons were used outside of NATO territory, they could income article 5 if nuclear fallout enters a territory.
Not a direct attack in that scenario, just consequences from an attack on a non-nato country, which starvation from a lack of food is also technically a consequence from an attack on a non-nato country.
So if I send a Nuke to Ukraine and affects all the border nations we act like oh look they didn't attack us....
Or poison a river that goes to other countries etc...
Or whatever...
So any attack that affect the redt but it's not direct is nothing....
This is stupid
1 nuke is launched, there's a VERY good chance every single nuke on Earth is launched. Literally everyone dies in that scenario. I agree, attacking the grainaries is evil, but it's several orders of magnitude less severe than a nuclear bomb. For instance, the 2 nukes dropped on Japan killed almost a quarter million people. Modern nuclear bombs are tens of times more powerful than Fat Man and Little Boy.
