Pres. Biden said the risk of 'Armageddon' is at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, as Russian officials allude to the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in its invasion of Ukraine.
. As recently as this week, though, U.S. officials have said they have seen no change to Russia's nuclear forces that would require a change in the alert posture of U.S. nuclear forces.
Biden also challenged Russian nuclear doctrine, warning that the use of a lower-yield tactical weapon could quickly spiral out of control into global destruction. Speaking to Democratic donors, Biden said he was still"trying to figure" out Putin's"off-ramp" in Ukraine. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said last week that the U.S. has been"clear" to Russia about what the"consequences" of using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine would be.
