if "Armageddon" needed to be said publicly

then that's exactly the right move. Putin needs to be shaken by the collar, his face shoved in a bowl of ice water. Maybe hearing this out loud, along with the rest of the world, means more than if it goes through diplomatic channels. Biden brought the truth about Putin's psychotic plans into the light, and I cheer him for that.

Or, Putin gets what he wants--intimidating the world.

Justice matters.

They look forward to it.

Saying "We are risking the ultimate confrontation of good vs. evil in which good wins" is not much of a threat to people gripped by the religious fervor of the Russian Orthodox church or the Christian contingent in this country.

It's not a "bad thing" nor is it a threat to believers in that nonsense. They WANT it to happen.
