Should the world prepare for Vladimir Putin to use tactical nuclear weapons?

Jim Shudow here in tonight for Anderson.

He said that Vladimir Putin could turn to tactical nukes or chemical weapons.

The director of the CIA warned that he's worried Putin might use a tactical nuclear weapon

in this fight.
