“We have not addressed the Armageddon perspective since then [ASV prezidenta Džona] Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis “in 1962, Biden told a Democratic Party fundraiser in New York.
He suggested that Putin was “not kidding” when he threatened to use nuclear weapons to continue the invasion of Ukraine.
Biden made unusually loud comments about the risks posed by Putin’s nuclear threat as he addressed supporters of his party at a fundraiser in the Manhattan home of James Murdoch, son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Remembering the nuclear crisis, caused in 1962 Soviet Unionplacing missiles in Cuba from which they could easily reach the United States, Biden said that “for the first time since the Cuban missile crisis, we have a direct threat of nuclear weapons if the situation continues like this.”
Putin has issued veiled threats to use nuclear weapons if he believes there are no other options in his offer to take Ukrainian territories in the conditions of the resistance of Ukraine supported by Western countries.
Experts said these would likely be relatively small tactical nuclear strikes. However, Biden warned that a tactical strike in a limited area would still risk triggering a larger outbreak.
“We’re dealing with a guy I know pretty well,” Biden said. “[Putins] he is not kidding when he talks about the potential use of nuclear, biological or chemical tactical weapons, because his army is likely underperformed. “
“I don’t think there’s such a thing as ability easily [lietot] tactical nuclear weapon and not get to Armageddon, “Biden said.
“I’m trying to figure out what Putin’s way back is. Where does he find a way out? Where is he in a position not only not to lose face, but [arī] not lose significant power in Russia? “Biden said.
