Biden: Nuclear ‘Armageddon’ risk highest since ’62 crisis

NEW YORK (AP) — President Joe Biden said Thursday that the risk of nuclear “Armageddon” is at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, as Russian officials speak of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in the eight-month invasion of Ukraine.

Speaking at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “a guy I know fairly well” and the Russian leader was “not joking when he talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons.”

Biden added, “We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis.” He suggested the threat from Putin is real “because his military is — you might say — significantly underperforming.”

U.S. officials for months have warned of the prospect that Russia could use weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine as it has faced a series of strategic setbacks on the battlefield, though Biden’s remarks marked the starkest warnings yet issued by the U.S. government about the nuclear stakes.

I say we force Russia to accept defeat and humiliation...or initiate existential nuclear war.

What about you folks?

Biden added, “We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis."

Then Biden continued, "I sure hope President Kennedy handles this crisis as well as he did in 1962."

So, what's new?

American communists (like Wilson, FDR, Truman, Johnson, and Bush) have always striven and usually succeeded, in getting the U.S. into a war...

The U.S. has, once again, gone from respected & feared world power to a faggot's bathhouse joke...

Please forward all phone calls, emails, and text messages, to and from the entire Biden Administration to Brandon Hillyard, Tulsa, OK. 243-774-3725. He’s a 5th grader doing exceptionally well in his World Governments class and could only be an asset to the situation.

Does anyone loathe the Media (who runs the DNC) as much as I do? They screamed bloody murder for 5 years that Pres.Trump would kill us all. And now we have this imbecile and his evil henchmen bating the largest nuclear power in the world. Heaven help us, please!

We can’t force Russia to do anything.
Our debt is 100 times bigger than Russia.
We are more broke than my brother in law who has already maxed out 7 credit cards.

His handlers wouldn't be talking like that if they took the prospect seriously. So they believe they can "ride it out" in their hidey holes, or truly believe it couldn't happen.

And they certainly don't think those who survive would be seeking out to put their heads on pikes for what they've instigated.

“not joking when he talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons.”

Actually Putin never threatened the use of biological or chemical weapons, so maybe Brandon just threw that in there because that’s what he intends to blame them for when we try and pull off a false flag operation there like we did in Syria.

Biden is the instigator of this. If Biden would have not become involved with the Ukraine, this would be a local problem. Biden has taken the world to the brink of nuclear war.

I used to think that the end times were far into the future. But look at the current state of America and the world, and I feel God has shown great restraint, and the end times could be sooner than anyone expects.

And we have petty, vindictive dementia patient with the nuclear football...
