I don't understand?
You mean fallout potentially blowing across NATO member states constitutes an attack on them?
Ukraine isn't a NATO member.
I wouldn't anticipate an overwhelming conventional weapon response from the whole of NATO in response to Russia using a small weapon in Ukraine.
But I could imagine a whole series of very serious non-kinetic reprisals by many member states.
And the US and close allies taking the lead on grey warfare (cables, pipelines, Internet access etc).
And escalating the supply of weaponry even further to Ukraine in order for them to respond kinetically... do they get given Tomahawks even?
Have no doubt that there are already drafted "if... then..." options for each scenario as FDR outlines.
