President Joe Biden’s remarks about the threat of a nuclear Armageddon, made at a Democratic Senate campaign fundraiser event in New York City on Oct. 6, were axiomatically based on the false notions that the war in Ukraine is Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war and that it is going badly for him. The Associated Press, in a report posted yesterday, cites administration officials saying that Biden’s warning was designed to send an “unvarnished message” that no one should underestimate the extraordinary danger if Russia deploys tactical nuclear weapons in its war against Ukraine. Biden’s claim “appeared to edge beyond the boundaries of current U.S. intelligence assessments,” AP confessed. “U.S. security officials continue to say they have no evidence that Vladimir Putin has imminent plans for a nuclear strike.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that “Russia’s talk of using nuclear weapons is irresponsible and there’s no way to use them without unintended consequences. It cannot happen.” She added that “if the Cuban missile crisis has taught us anything, it is the value of reducing nuclear risk and not brandishing it.”
