i24 News – The world is staring at a nuclear “Armageddon,” President Joe Biden said Thursday, warning that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin could use his atomic arsenal as Russian troops struggle against a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Putin is “not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons, because his military is, you might say, significantly underperforming,” Biden told Democratic donors in New York on Thursday.
“For the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis, we have a direct threat to the use of nuclear weapons, if in fact things continue down the path they’d been going.”
“We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis,” he said.
In the 1962 crisis, the United States under President John Kennedy and Soviet Union under its leader, Nikita Khrushchev, came close to the use of nuclear weapons over the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba.
Biden ruled out the notion of a “tactical” nuclear strike.
“I don’t think there’s any such thing as the ability to easily (use) a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon,” he said.
He added that he was still “trying to figure” out Putin’s “off-ramp” in Ukraine.
“Where does he find a way out?” Biden asked. “Where does he find himself in a position that he does not not only lose face but lose significant power within Russia?”

Wow. You would think something as literally earth shattering as the possibility of ch’v a nuclear “Armageddon,” R’l would have some more fitting venue for the president to address than an off the cuff remark to some Democratic donors.
And that is aside from the fact a possibility openly can create a self fulfilling prophesy.

Maybe Biden can learn from Putin that you need to keep your adversaries guessing and you don’t tell them what red lines you are expecting them to cross and what you WON’T do to them in return

I’m sure Putin is very relieved and appreciates that Biden has made a point of informing him that he doesn’t need to worry about such a possibly..
Nuclear weapons are as real as the moon landing

If Joe puts his disposable mask back on and descends down to his Delaware basement to take a long deserved nap, the world will be a safer place.
