Russian President Vladimir Putin is not joking when it speaks of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, said the head of the White House of the United States Joe Biden. In his opinion, the world was faced with the threat of the use of nuclear weapons for the first time since the Caribbean crisis of 1962, the media reported.
Biden, speaking at the event of a democratic party, warned that due to the use of tactical nuclear weapons, the situation could quickly get out of control and lead to global destruction. This threatens to end with Armageddon, he said.
Joe Biden added that Putin knows “quite well”. “We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since the time of Kennedy and the missile crisis in Cuba,” Associated Press US president quotes
According to Bayden, Putin is not joking when he speaks of the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons, biological or chemical weapons, because his armed forces, one might say, is significantly behind. “
Biden indicated that in Washington they are looking for a diplomatic solution to the urgent problem. “We are trying to understand what is a way out for Putin,” said the head of the White House. “Where he can be in such a position in order not only not to lose his face, but also not to lose significant power in Russia.”
Recall that in 1962 the United States led by President John Kennedy and the Soviet Union under the leadership of the Secretary General of the CPSU Nikita Khrushchev were close to the use of nuclear weapons due to the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba.
