JOE Biden has said the risk of nuclear “Armageddon” is at its highest level since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, warning that Vladimir Putin is “not joking”.
Russian officials have spoken of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in the eighth month of the illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “not joking when he talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons”.
