The Biden administration is spewing
ridiculous fear mongering propaganda:

Wow. Biden at a Dem fundraiser tonight:
“We have not faced the prospect of
Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban
missile crisis.” He says Putin is “not
joking when he talks about potential use of
tactical,” nuclear or biological weapons
because his military is underperforming.
Biden continued with the blunt warnings:
“I don't think there's any such thing as the
ability to easily (use) a tactical nuclear
weapon and not end up with Armageddon.”
(These 👀 quotes from pooler @tparti)
Biden going MUCH further than his
officials have, from the National Security
Council to the Pentagon. They have said they
take Russia's threats seriously, but haven't
seen any changes in its nuclear posture.
Biden invokes Armageddon and says Putin
should be taken seriously.
A copy of the pool report can be seen
here. It quotes Biden as saying: "[Putin] is
not joking when he talks about potential use of
tactical nuclear weapons or biological or
chemical weapons because his military is you
might say is significantly underperforming."
Fact is that Putin has not talked about the
"potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or
biological or chemical weapons." Not. At. All.
On September 21 Putin announced a partial
mobilization of reservists. In his TV speech he
mentioned nuclear weapons only with regards
to 'Western' threats of using them:
They have even resorted to the nuclear
blackmail. I am referring not only to the
Western-encouraged shelling of the
Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which poses
a threat of a nuclear disaster, but also to
the statements made by some high-ranking
representatives of the leading NATO
countries on the possibility and
admissibility of using weapons of mass
destruction – nuclear weapons – against
Russia.
I would like to remind those who make
such statements regarding Russia that our
country has different types of
weapons as well, and some
of them are more modern than the
weapons NATO countries have. In the event of
a threat to the territorial integrity of our
country and to defend Russia and our people,
we will certainly make use of all weapon
systems available to us. This is not a
bluff.
The citizens of Russia can rest assured
that the territorial integrity of our
Motherland, our independence and freedom
will be defended – I repeat – by all the
systems available to us. Those who are using
nuclear blackmail against us should know
that the wind rose can turn around.
Note that Putin does not mention Russia's
nuclear weapons. He instead empathizes that
Russia has new 'different' weapons that are
'more modern' than those of the 'West'. He means
hypersonic missiles which can avoid 'western'
air defenses and hit decision centers in
Brussels, London and Washington even without
nuclear warheads.
Also for the record: Russia has signed and
ratified the Biological Weapons Convention which
prohibits the development, production,
acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of
biological weapons. Russia has also signed and
ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention. In
November 2017 it
destroyed its last (Soviet) chemical weapons
as mandated by the convention. It is the U.S.
that still has not destroyed its chemicial
weapons.
After Putin's speech some war mongering noise
that distorted Putin's speech was made by the
White House. A few days later the deputy
chairman of Russia's Security Council, Dimitry
Medevedev,
set the record straight. There are only two
distinct conditions under which Russia would
ever use nuclear weapons:
"Let's imagine that Russia is forced to use
the most fearsome weapon against the
Ukrainian regime which had committed a
large-scale act of aggression that is
dangerous for the very existence of our
state," Medvedev said in a post on Telegram.
Medvedev's remarks quoted the exact
terminology of one of the conditions of
Russia's nuclear strike doctrine:
"aggression against the Russian Federation
with conventional weapons when the very
existence of the state is threatened".
...
"I have to remind you again - for those deaf
ears who hear only themselves. Russia has
the right to use nuclear weapons if
necessary," Medvedev said, adding that it
would do so "in predetermined cases" and
in strict compliance with state
policy.
Scott Ritter, who knows a bit about nuclear
deterrence,
has explained Russia's nuclear doctrine:
NATO and Ukraine both believe that the
Russian forces, even after receiving the
300,000 mobilized troops, will not be able
to defeat Ukraine. This inability to achieve
the desired objectives, they believe, will
compel Russia to resort to the use of
tactical nuclear weapons on Ukrainian
targets in order to break the will to resist
on the part of the Zelensky government.
The reality, however, is that
Russian nuclear doctrine does not allow for
such a scenario. Indeed, there are
only two conditions where Russian nuclear
doctrine permits the employment of nuclear
weapons.
No 1. “[I]n response to the use of
nuclear and other types of weapons of mass
destruction against it and/or its allies,”
the 2020 Russian Nuclear Posture document
states, or
No 2. “in the event of aggression against
the Russian Federation with the use of
conventional weapons when the very existence
of the state is in jeopardy.”
U.S. nuclear posture, however, does allow
it.
All the war mongering talk and reports about
Russia's alleged threat of nuclear weapon use in
Ukraine is totally unfounded. That
'western'
media
suddenly
engage
in
it shows that it is part of a well directed
propaganda campaign.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky
believes that "NATO should make it
impossible for Russia to use nuclear
weapons."
"Preemptive strikes are needed so that
they know what awaits them if they use
nuclear weapons. Not the other way around,
waiting for Russia's nuclear strikes and
then saying, 'oh, you've done that, then get
this,'" he said on Thursday, speaking via
video link at Australia's think tank, the
Lowy Institute.
'Western' media know that such a call is a
big faux pas and lie about Zelenski's request:
One must ask what this propaganda campaign
about a non existing threat is really about.
Could it be in preparation of a false flag
incident in which a U.S or British nuclear
device is used in Ukraine
to then blame it on Russia as the pretext of
an all out military engagement in Ukraine?
Setting off a tactical nuclear weapon as
a pretext for a direct US and Polish
military incursion into Western Ukraine -
perhaps to preserve a Ukrainian rump state
there, in the event that Kiev looks likely
to fall somewhere down the line in the
conflict.
False flags and/or WMDs are after all the
indisputable standard US MO and playbook
for pretexts for military action from the
Spanish American War, to Vietnam, to Iraq,
to Syria.
The Pentagon has been openly and proudly
developing and deploying what they call “more
usable” battlefield nuclear weapons,
specifically for use against Russia and
China.
And the US is the only country in history
to have used nuclear weapons in war on
another state, on entire Japanese cities
full of people, actually.
Or – possibly could this be dog whistle
signaling to the Zelenskiy regime or NeoNazi
forces in Ukraine about just how to generate
the extremis conditions to allow the US to
jump directly into the conflict, much like
how
the US did the same with jihadist forces and
chemical weapons “red lines” in Syria.
