‘U.S. May Directly Enter Ukraine War Without NATO,’ Says Gen. David Petraeus

American and allied forces may directly intervene in the ongoing Ukraine conflict against Russia even without a threat to any member of the U.S.-led NATO military alliance, former U.S. Army General David Petraeus said.

If Russia took some actions in Ukraine that would be “so shocking and so horrific,” it would then prompt a response from the U.S. and other nations, the ex-CIA director projected on Saturday during an interview with France’s weekly magazine, L’Express, noting that they “might react in one way or another, but as a multinational force led by the U.S. and not as a NATO force.”
