Insider: Sen. Mitt Romney suggests 'NATO could engage' in Ukraine, 'potentially obliterating Russia's struggling military' if Putin used nuclear weapons 

* Sen. Mitt Romney warned a "cornered and delusional" Putin could use nuclear weapons. 

* In a New York Times op-ed, Romney suggested strategies to face Putin in such a scenario. 

* Romney said continued support of Ukraine was necessary to avoid the subjugation of other countries. 

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney suggested in a New York Times essay that "NATO could engage" in Ukraine, "potentially obliterating Russia's struggling military" as an option against Russian President Vladimir Putin were he to deploy nuclear weapons. 

The Utah senator also suggested that the West confront China and other Russian-allied nations with an ultimatum. 

"You are either with us, or you are with Russia — you cannot be with both," Romney wrote. 

"Russia's use of a nuclear weapon would unarguably be a redefining, reorienting geopolitical event," Romney continued. "Any nation that chose to retain ties with Russia after such an outrage would itself also become a global pariah."
