US President Joe Biden questioned what Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday regarding his lack of intent to use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, despite the fact that Russia has repeatedly emphasised its commitment to the leaders of the five nuclear states’ declaration that starting a nuclear war is inadmissible.
In an appearance with “News Nation,” Biden questioned why Putin keeps bringing up the subject if he doesn’t intend to do so.
Indicating that his counterpart might actually use nuclear weapons, he also inquired as to why Putin had mentioned having the ability to employ a tactical nuclear weapon.
These developments took place while the United States pledged to take these threats seriously and as Russia issued a dire warning in the event that this course of action was chosen.
Washington warned that it and its allies of this step, considering Moscow’s statements reckless and irresponsible about a threat to a destroyed nuclear war to the whole world.
It is significant that on September 21, Putin announced the country’s first reserve soldier mobilisation since World War II in order to send more troops to the Ukrainian battlefields.
The West warned that he was not deceiving when he hinted that he was ready to use nuclear weapons to defend the security of Russian territory, which sparked at the time a wave of warnings that are still ongoing.
According to the Union of American Scholars, Russia has the largest nuclear force in the world based on the number of nuclear weapons it possesses—5977 compared to 5428 for the US.
Putin may deploy nuclear weapons, but Biden questions that!
