about Putin's threat to use nuclear weaponsEx-national security adviser John Bolton said he was "disturbed" by President Joe Biden's recent remarks warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons in its war with Ukraine.
"I think any time we contemplate the potential use of nuclear weapons, we've got to take it seriously. But I also think we've got to be very clear-eyed about it," Bolton told CBS News on Friday. "And I think the president's comment overstated the gravity of the situation we're in right now."
"We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis," the president said Thursday, explaining that he didn't think there was a way to use tactical nuclear weapons and not have it result in Armageddon.
"I was particularly disturbed when he said, 'you know, I can't imagine the use of a tactical nuclear weapon that doesn't lead to Armageddon," Bolton said. "And it's that chain of causality from one demonstration use of a tactical nuclear weapon that Vladimir Putin is currently threatening all the way up to an exchange of nuclear salvos between Russia and the United States."

He was reminding Putin that we have nukes too and will use them if necessary.
Bolton, STFU. You're talking now but wouldn't talk during the trump impeachments when your words could've made a difference. Your ass saved it all for your book.

(5,499 posts)If not, how can he even comment on the gravity of the situation? I think we all understand that at the first use of a tactical nuclear weapon, NATO will enter into the war. They have to. And I think we would have to declare war on Russia. At that point China will have to decide whose side they are on.
I can't imagine an alternative course of action.
