A United States Senator from Missouri, Senator Josh Hawley has discussed the potential consequences of increased military tensions involving Russia and NATO. He posed a critical question about what would occur if Russia were to launch missiles into NATO territory, noting that such an action would trigger the NATO treaty and could lead to a full-scale war.
He emphasized that he doesn't believe former President Trump supports such an escalation, as Trump has consistently opposed it. He underscored the importance of prioritizing national security in U.S. foreign policy, arguing that actions which could provoke military confrontation, such as giving a "green light" for missile strikes into Russia, do not align with America's best interests.
He said in an interview with Fox News, "What would happen if Russia decided to launch missiles into the territory of a NATO member? Then that treaty is triggered, and we are talking about a full-scale war. I can't imagine that President Trump wants that. He has been totally against it.
What I'm sure is that what he wants is for Biden to stop messing this up and get into office and begin to work towards America's security interest. Let's remember what our interests in the region are. It's our national security and that's what we ought to be putting first. Not giving a green light to shoot missiles into Russia. That's not putting our interest first, it's putting it last."
