Biden criticized for the nuclear armageddon comment.

I tend to agree with him.

Biden’s remarks, at a fundraising event in New York, could open him to criticism by political opponents that he is speaking in an inartful way about nuclear war – and at a political fundraiser of all places. But they are paradoxically also a little reassuring because they reveal a president who is deeply conscious of the risks of escalation with the volatile Kremlin leader.


But Biden’s comments also show that, in one way at least, Putin’s nuclear threats have worked: They have left his adversaries unsure how he might behave.

Biden told Democratic donors that the world had arrived at a dangerous moment.

“(For the) first time since the Cuban missile crisis, we have a direct threat of the use (of a) nuclear weapon if, in fact, things continue down the path they are going,” Biden said.

“We’ve got a guy I know fairly well,” Biden said of Putin.

“He’s not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons because his military is, you might say, significantly underperforming.”


US officials are concerned that Putin might consider the use of a smaller tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine in a desperate attempt to turn the course of the war. The White House says it has warned the Kremlin that such a decision would be “catastrophic” for Russia but has not said publicly exactly how they would respond – though there is speculation NATO might get involved and directly target Russian forces, a scenario that could lead to a dangerous escalation with Moscow.


With that in mind, Biden appeared to be making an argument, which Putin will now be sure to hear about, that the idea that the use of a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine could be contained and not lead to a wider conflagration is wrong.

The entire strategic logic between maintaining nuclear weapons for self-defense is that they are too terrible to be used, and any nation that did would be writing their own death warrant.

And I will wager my income for the next year that had it been Donald Trump who said the exact same thing, under the exact same circumstances, this DUmmie would be singing a far different tune.

We were told by "experts" and "journalists" that President Trump would bring about a nuclear WWIII but it is Pedo Hitler Biden that actually is going to do it.

Everything Trump said Biden would do to ruin the nation and the world, has come true but nuclear war. Biden and his junta are forking feverishly to bring that last element of democrat destruction to fruition. Democrats should be worried if that happens because then we are going to play cowboys and democrats.

And just where is that "doomsday clock" now?  Why did we hear about 100sec to midnight repeatedly during President Trumps term but strangely only crickets now?

And, as is predictable, the primitives are now pro-war.

You still have to pass a physical and be drug free so no they will not be fighting any wars that don't involve a keyboard and anonymity.

So they'll be sitting on the sidelines rooting for young men they don't know to go die because old men are mad at each other. Is that the gist of it?

Will Pitt is now in a ditch of his own so Cindy Sheehan is on her own this go around.

The problem with Biden's comments is that nobody really believes that Putin is going to start tossing nukes over Ukraine. Putin can make an educated guess as to the response he would receive from much of the world and knows it wouldn't be good for Russia or himself.

And after you do f*** with a Biden you can f*** with Hunter even more by slapping him with a paternity suit.

Meanwhile, let's not forget that somewhere out there is a 3 year old girl who's mother is a Stripper, who's father is a Crackhead, and who's grandfather is President of the United States and an devout fascist.
