Putin is Not Joking: Biden Warns of Potential Armageddon

U.S. President Joe Biden has warned about the dangers associated with Russian nuclear threats. He made this statement on October 6 at a Democratic Party fundraising event in New York, as reported by CNN.

“For the first time since the Cuban missile crisis, we face a direct threat of nuclear weapon use... I don't think it’s easy to use tactical nuclear weapons and not end up in Armageddon,” said the American leader.

According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin is not joking when he talks about the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons. This, according to the American leader, is a result of the Russian army failing in Ukraine.

The television network pointed out that the U.S. National Security Council, the State Department, and the Pentagon have been more restrained in their assessments of the nuclear threat.

After Biden's remarks, U.S. officials emphasized in conversations with CNN that they do not see any change in Russia's nuclear posture.
