Biden: Nuclear 'Armageddon' risk highest since '62 crisis
apnews.com
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.

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.”

      Biden has so far been resisting some crazy neocon crusade to start a nuclear armageddon...

      This is how Bernie can still win.

      IF there's a crusade they probably don't actually want a nuclear war.

      Unless it's a great reset biblical crusade....

      Am I the only one to think that Biden has so far been resisting some crazy neocon crusade to start a nuclear armageddon?

      I think you are, because the Democrats seem pretty dead set on pushing this thing until we all glow in the dark. They want to rape and pillage Russia and they're not going to let something as paltry as nuclear annihilation get in their way.
