President Biden raised doubts this week about Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s claim that he never intended to use nuclear weapons.
“If he has no intention, why does he keep talking about it?” Biden said during an interview with NewsNation Thursday. “Why does he talk about the ability to use a tactical nuclear weapon?”
The president described Russia’s leader as “very dangerous” in his approach to nuclear weapons.
“He can end this all, get out of Ukraine,” Biden added.
The US president expressed skepticism about Putin’s intentions just hours after the Kremlin strongman said at a conference of international foreign policy experts that it was unnecessary for Russia to strike Ukraine with atomic weapons.
“We see no need for that,” Putin said. “There is no point in that, neither political, nor military.”

Please, anyone, quote Putin saying about the use of tactical nukes.
Maybe because US and UK propagandists keep accusing Russia of what they want them to do, and “ misquoting” Putin
“We have put together, I think, the most extensive and and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
— Joe Biden
Why you talk like that Joe?
IIRC, Biden was the first to mention it.
Biden’s executive order to shut down the Keystone pipeline, single-handedly convinced Putin to attack Ukraine, as he knew Europe would be dependent on Russia’s oil. Talks about a free pass from the MSM.
A frequent talking point of our resident neocons. So simple only the simple minded could repeat it.
The left is preparing the world for a false flag nuclear attack in Ukraine.
Brandon has all the charm, elegance and statesmanship of a junk yard security guard.
Either way, the US and NATO weren' bluffing when they told Putin any use of a nuclear weapon would be catastrophic for Russia.
Given the frequency that "We have no intention of invading Ukraine" Russia lies and breaks agreements, the US and NATO need to remain vigilant.
Why does Brandon keep talking about?
Disingenuous question.
Russia’s nuclear doctrine allows for a nuclear strike after “aggression against the Russian Federation with conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is threatened”.
Why do you think they faked the referendum results and annexed the four Oblasts despite not even holding them? To immediately put that “self defence” into play in Ukraine.
Hence this statement from Putin in September:
“I want to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction, and for separate components and more modern than those of NATO countries... And when the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, to protect Russia and our people, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal. It’s not a bluff.”
He leaves it to others to spell it out.
Ramzan Kadyrov said, Moscow should consider using a low-yield nuclear weapon in Ukraine particularly if it experiences a major defeat in the occupied Oblasts.
Medvedev said an attack on Crimea would prompt a “Judgment Day” response.
I don’t think those statements mean that Russia ought to write a strongly worded letter of indignation.
Then of course there’s month’s worth of TV pundits, military guests, and that dumbass Tommy DeVito wannabe from the Duma on Rossiya1 who keep talking about nuking four American cities, nuking the west coast of Ireland with a stupid ass tidal wave, wiping France off the map with mega nukes...
It’s quite possible they’re just trolling the West, but they don’t do that (complete with CGI simulation) without a Kremlin rubber stamp.
If Putin didn’t approve of that talk, he could shut it down. Like he did on Denazification after Lavrov ran his mouth too far and called Israel a nazi country. We don’t hear much of that talk anymore.
So it isn’t so much about what Putin has said personally, it’s about what he allows his generals, his Duma, his TV propagandists to continue to say on his behalf.
Politicians are slippery.
Every time I’m tempted to take a politician’s words at face value, this Tony Blair quote pops into my head... The quote that hot him the student vote.
“We will not introduce ‘top-up’ fees and have legislated to prevent them.”
It was carefully worded. They introduced different, variable fees and loans that bypassed the legislation, but at least they weren’t top-up fees!
Putin’s statements on self defence COMBINED WITH his statements on nuclear doctrine COMBINED WITH the annexations confirm that for Russia, tactical nukes are in the game.
Putin did a bait and switch. Just like Blair.
Where is the mentioning of the tactical nukes?
I guess Putin can talk about it all he wants. He doesn’t live in the US currently.
My answer to that is every foreign country should get out of Ukraine. Including us.
Are you demanding proof of a direct confession in one single statement, knowing you’d never get it? Not on either side, Biden or Putin.
Biden did say the world could face “Armageddon” if Vladimir Putin uses a tactical nuke. But you can read that Armageddon as retaliation by NATO or as escalation by Russia, or both.
It’s only when you put the deliberately ambiguous statements alongside actions that the intent is revealed.
Russia is parking its nukes right up to the NATO border. Has NATO done that?
Russia engineered a situation where Russia can tell its citizens that Russia is under direct attack... Even if the attack comes from Ukrainians in their own homeland.
If a bunch of Ukes successfully take out the Crimean bridge without any external help at all, Putin’s engineered that to be within military doctrine for a tactical nuclear retaliation.
Has NATO done anything like that?
Putin’s rhetoric is clarified backed up by visible action across the Russian political and military leadership. He’s lost the ambiguity.
Until NATO parks nukes in the Baltic member states, it remains the case that NATO hasn’t done anything to threaten Moscow with anything more than sanctions and condemnation.
Pot meet kettle...or is it Pops meet mettle?
Are you working for MSM? A lot of BS in response of one simple question to quote the Putin’s threats of tactical nuclear weapons everybody is talking about so much but that are objectively absent.
All I heard is that Ze threatened to change the Ukraine’s nuclear status BEFORE invasion. It took place at Munich conference. Then the French foreign minister said that Russia is not a single country in a possession of nuclear weapons and needs to learn to live with it.
Then Putin considered it a threat and ordered nuclear drills and made certain statements, none of them mentioning tactical nukes.
The MSM ignored Ze and France, but interpreted it as another “unprovoked” (LOL) Putin’s threat and ieep talking it up since January.
The deceptive Brandon’s statements are indeed proving the likely preparation of the false flag, where the Pentagon is involved.
