Faced with the threat of a Russian nuclear strike, the President of the United States did not hide his concern, specifying that the difficulties encountered by Vladimir Putin’s army in Ukraine could push him to carry out his insinuations .
For Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin’s threats concerning the possible use of nuclear weapons are to be taken seriously. As proof, the strong words used by the President of the United States. “Joe Biden used extremely strong words. He said the world had never been closer to an Armageddon than it had been in 60 years, when there was the Cuban Missile Crisis. has come back to this point, just on the brink, perhaps, of a nuclear war, with obviously the innuendo of Vladimir Putin who could use a nuclear weapon, in particular a tactical weapon on Ukraine”explains Loïc de la Mornais live from Washington.
“Joe Biden said that he knew Vladimir Putin well, whom he had met on several occasions and that indeed, in the face of the Russian army’s underperformance in Ukraine, he would feel cornered and therefore could use a nuclear weapon. The White House, however, clarified that the American intelligence services had no indication of a rise in power of the nuclear alert on the Russian side.he continues. “Here, a number of military experts believe that this could trigger, in retaliation, American strikes on the entire Russian fleet, on all Russian bases in Ukraine or even the personal and physical elimination of Vladimir Putin”emphasizes Loïc de la Mornais.
