Biden Continues to Sell Nuke Fear, Downplays Putin's Comments
Peace is essentially banned in Washington
President Joe Biden, who has said the world is closer to nuclear Armageddon in any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis, cast doubt on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that he will not use them.
Biden told NewsNation TV in an interview Thursday that it is strange that the Russian leader keeps talking about nukes if they’re off the table.
“If he has no intention, why does he keep talking about it? Why is he talking about the ability to use a tactical nuclear weapon?”
He continued, “Let me just say: Russia would be making an incredibly serious mistake for it to use a tactical nuclear weapon. I’m not guaranteeing you that it’s a false-flag operation yet; I don’t know. But it would be a serious, serious mistake.”
Putin told the Valdai International Discussion Club on Thursday that Russia sees no need to consider using nuclear weapons as its war with Ukraine drags along.
“There is no point in that, neither political, nor military,” he said, according to The Associated Press. Putin told the audience that he found former British Prime Minister Liz Truss’s comments that she would not hesitate to use nukes as problematic.
“What were we supposed to think?” he said. “We saw that as a coordinated position, an attempt to blackmail us.”
The Trends Journal has long noted that it is completely opposed to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but the Western media has been nothing more than an echo chamber for anti-Russian politicians in Washington. So-called “Progressive” Democrats penned a letter to President Biden to urge him to try a new strategy — negotiations — but they were cowards and retracted the letter.
Putin, once again, blamed the West for its effort in “fueling the war in Ukraine,” and organizing provocations around Taiwan – a thinly veiled nod to its ally China. Putin said the West is not so much supporting Ukraine, but rather grasping to keep its balance of power over other countries by employing “dirty” and “bloody” means, Sputnik reported.
He called the war in Ukraine part of a “tectonic change” in the world order.
“It's no coincidence that the West claims that its culture and worldview should be universal,” Putin said, according to the report. “Even if they don't say so directly, they behave this way. In fact, their approach insists that these values be unconditionally accepted by all other participants in international communication.”
