The likelihood of Armageddon is at its greatest point since the Cuban missile crisis, according to President Joe Biden, who said on Thursday evening that Vladimir Putin was serious when he declared he planned to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
At a fundraiser for Democrats held at the New York residence of James Murdoch, the media magnate Rupert’s son, he delivered his ominous proclamation.
It comes amid rising concerns that Putin is cornered and would resort to using tactical nuclear weapons to halt the advance of Ukrainian troops.
Biden stated at the event for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, “We have a person I know quite well.”
Because his military is, shall we say, considerably underperforming, he is not kidding when he mentions the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons, biological weapons, or chemical weapons.
At the event for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, he said, “Don’t be deceived by the assumption that smaller, tactical weapons were not a serious danger to the globe.”
He said, “I don’t believe there’s any way to deploy a tactical nuclear bomb easily and not cause Armageddon.”
Russian soldiers have recently been driven back by Ukrainian forces, who have achieved major advances.
Putin reportedly confronts anxiety over the war stalling at home for the first time.
Numerous political figures have expressed concern that if Putin finds himself in a tight spot, he may resort to using WMDs to both shift the course of the conflict and maintain control at home.
If things continue on their current course, we might face a nuclear attack for the first time since the Cuban missile crisis, according to Biden.
As of now, according to authorities, Russia’s nuclear posture has not changed. However, they are still unsure on how to persuade Putin to give up and return home.
We’re attempting to determine Putin’s off-ramp, added Biden. Where does he locate an exit?
Where does he end up that he not only loses face but also a significant amount of power?
The location of the event—in the home of a family renowned for its ties to the Republican Party—had drawn attention before Biden launched his apocalyptic scenario.
One of the president’s catchphrases was modified to make a little joke about the family.
As he explained how Trump’s influence has sparked an attack on institutions from the Supreme Court to the White House, Biden said, “This is not your father’s Republican Party.”
However, James Murdoch, 49, broke with his famous father, whose Fox network gave Donald Trump a huge platform, and contributed significantly to Biden’s 2020 campaign.
In that year, James Murdoch left the News Corp. board. His wife, Kathryn, is a prominent supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.
The pair established the Quadrivium foundation, which has recently donated millions to groups with a left-leaning agenda.
He visited the IBM facility in upstate New York earlier in the day to emphasize the company’s commitment to spend $20 billion in the Hudson Valley area.
It also implied that he may assist Reps. Sean Patrick Maloney and Pat Ryan, who will have a difficult time winning reelection.
After that, a fundraiser at the New Jersey governor’s home was scheduled. An official predicted that the gathering of 15 people would bring in $1 million for the Democratic National Committee.
Jon Bon Jovi, a famous singer from New Jersey, was there in the intimate setting of Gov. Phil Murphy’s house to hear Biden once again denounce the Trumpist elements inside the Republican Party.
He said that although “not all Republicans are MAGA Republicans,” “a solid 35% are Trumpites.”
Republicans made fun of him for his snobbery, portraying him as being out of touch with people who were trying to keep up with growing expenses.
Biden is scheduled to meet with affluent Democrat elites, according to Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.
Biden’s unwillingness to do his campaigning outside of the Acela corridor demonstrates how disconnected he is from the problems that Americans are confronting, including soaring costs, spiking crime, and an uncontrolled border.
Democrats are attempting to avoid Biden, but Americans are aware that they have endorsed his terrible program.
Despite having a hectic week that included trips to Puerto Rico on Monday and Florida on Wednesday to survey storm relief efforts, Biden put the Murdoch incident, which was originally reported in radaronline, in his itinerary.
The president has increased his fundraising efforts in recent weeks, contributing to the DNC’s $107 total for the year, which one official told Reuters was “the biggest at this stage in any year.”
It comes at a crucial time for Senate Democrats, who are hoping to maintain their 50-seat majority and possibly grow it in order to avoid some of the party squabbles of the previous year. They are also hoping to find enough support to change the rules so that a law codifying the right to an abortion won’t be subject to a filibuster.
After making advances during the summer, elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin, where Republicans have been on the defense, have become more competitive.
Dr. Mehmet Oz has been gaining ground on Democratic Lt. Governor John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, whose unfavorable ratings increased in a recent poll as a result of criticism of his views on crime.
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson has been able to hold onto a slim advantage in the polls because to Republicans’ relentless radio and television attacks on Democrat Mandela Barnes. Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat, is overtaking Blake Masters, a Republican, in Arizona.
New claims that Republican Herschel Walker paid for a woman’s abortion while supporting legislation to ban the procedure at 15 weeks rocked the Georgia Senate campaign on Tuesday night.
Following a Daily Beast article that includes a $575 receipt for the surgery, a $700 check signed by Walker dated five days after the treatment, and a get well card he signed, the former football player appeared on “Hannity” to refute the accusation. Walker claimed he gives money and cards to many individuals and denied paying for an abortion, calling it a “flat-out lie.”
He described abortion as “a lady murdering her baby” while running for office.
The Real Clear Politics polling average shows that Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto is 2 points behind Republican Adam Laxalt in a different Senate race in Nevada.
According to Reuters, the Murdoch donor is for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The president has an earlier engagement at New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s house scheduled.
James Murdoch invested $100 million in his charity Quadrivium foundation, which significantly contributed to the 2020 presidential race. Additionally, they donated millions to organizations that backed Joe Biden, opposed Donald Trump, and opposed extremism.
Days after the Capitol assault, which was included in Biden’s remarks, Murdoch told the Financial Times: “The harm is significant.”
“The destruction of the Capitol is unequivocal evidence that what we believed to be harmful is indeed very dangerous.” Insidious and uncontrolled forces that will remain with us for years have been released by those channels that spread falsehoods to their audience, he said.
