Joe Biden says he doesn't believe Vladimir Putin would use nuclear weapons. At the same time, even the threats of the Russian dictator have a destabilizing effect, and the head of the United States warned of possible errors in judgment that may arise.
Biden said this in a comment to American journalists. Even though he warned last week that the risk of a nuclear “Armageddon” was at its highest level since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Biden, when asked by a correspondent whether the Russian leader would use tactical nuclear weapons, replied that he did not think Putin would do it.
I think it is irresponsible for him to talk about it , the idea that the world leader of one of the largest nuclear states in the world says that he can use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the US president added. .
“And not because someone intends to turn it into a world war or something else, but once you use nuclear weapons, mistakes that can be made, miscalculations, who knows what will happen,” Biden stressed. /p>
He added that, in fact, the Russian dictator cannot continue to talk about the use of tactical nuclear weapons with impunity, as if it were a rational act. Mistakes happen.
What could be the US response to Russia's use of nuclear weapons
Biden declined to reveal what the US response would look like if Putin carried out his nuclear threats. But he said that The Ministry of Defense had developed contingencies in advance if this scenario materialized.
Is there any way to find out Russia's preparations for nuclear strike
The head of the UK Government Communications Center said that there are no guarantees that the West will see Russia's preparations. We are talking about the likely preparation of the Kremlin for a nuclear strike. The relevant information was reported on October 11 by Jeremy Flemming. He also explained that Russia is the only country that allows you to talk about nuclear weapons.
Russia is the only country that talks about using nuclear weapons, and I must say that this extremely dangerous. – said Jeremy Flemming.
According to him, the West and its allies will be able to notice the likely preparation of Russia for the alleged nuclear strike. However, according to Flemming, there are never any guarantees.
