One of the most candid statements on the risks of nuclear conflict from a U.S. leader since the Cold War was made by President Joe Biden on Thursday.
The risk of nuclear Armageddon has been raised by Putin's threats, according to Biden.
The risk of nuclear Armageddon is at its highest level since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, according to Vice President Joe Biden.
If things continue down the path they are going, Biden believes there will be a direct threat of nuclear weapons being used in Ukraine.
Biden said that Putin is not joking when he talks about using nukes.
The White House is trying to find a way for Putin to back down, according to Biden.
Biden warned that even a small tactical nuclear weapon could cause a world-ending event if used in Ukraine.
Russian officials have said that they would use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The threats have taken a more serious tone in recent weeks when Putin vowed to use all weapons in Russia's arsenal to defend the illegally annexed Ukrainian territories. The threat is being treated seriously by other countries.
Russia doesn't have full control over any of the four territories it illegally claims as its own and has suffered a number of embarrassing losses in recent weeks. Ukrainian forces, aided with advanced weaponry from the West, are continuing to advance in the east and south of the country, forcing Russian troops to retreat quickly. The situation has put a lot of pressure on Putin. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled the country and many more have been injured as a result of the country's first mobilization drive since World War Two. The increasing pressure could make the Russian leader more likely to use nuclear weapons, something echoed by Biden with his talk of an "off- ramp." Experts told Forbes that Putin wouldn't start with Russia's most powerful nuclear weapons and wouldn't target a city inUkraine. He is most likely to use a small nuclear weapon to show he is serious and willing to take things to the next level.
Biden is the first U.S. president to speak about this topic in such a candid way. It's not clear if they are based on new information. Pentagon officials said there was no evidence that would change the U.S. nuclear posture.
It's not clear how the US and Western allies would respond to the use of nuclear weapons. NATO would be too scared of a nuclear apocalypse to intervene inUkraine directly, even if Moscow used nuclear weapons, according to Russian leaders. The secretary general of NATO warned Moscow that it would face severe consequences if it used nuclear weapons. A NATO strike using conventional weapons would be more appropriate according to Poland's foreign minister.
There were 5,970. According to an estimate by theFAS, Russia has more nuclear warheads than any other country. Russia has an estimated 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons along with the U.S. Long-term effects of a nuclear war could wipe out most of the world's population.
If Putin ordered a nuclear strike, what would happen?
The experts say what you should do in a nuclear attack.
The prospect of Armageddon is the highest since the Cuban missile crisis, according to Biden. The New York Times.
A study found that a limited nuclear war could kill billions of people.
