Biden should stop talking about Armageddon

Why is President Biden talking about Armageddon? Isn't this is falling into the trap set by Putin who wants to scare the West? Biden said this week that the possibility of nuclear Armageddon was as real as it was in the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, had already warned that Putin would face catastrophic consequences if he fired tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. But Biden went further when he painted the most frightening scenario, of a nuclear exchange between the US and Russia if Putin turns to tactical nukes. The fact is there is far too much scaremongering. All those reports this week about a special nuclear train on the move to Ukraine were just dangerous speculation. Sure, there was a train with armoured vehicles on board that come from a unit that is associated with nuclear weapons. But the unit has other roles too, and the Pentagon as good as dismissed the scare reports by saying there were no new developments that indicated Putin was preparing the ground for nuke use in Ukraine. So let's keep the scaremongering down. And please, Joe Biden, stop talkng about Armageddon.
