US President Joe Biden has said that the world is facing the threat of nuclear war for the first time since the Cold War.
According to the French news agency AFP, US President Joe Biden said on Thursday at a Democratic fundraising event in New York that 'we have not faced the possibility of nuclear armageddon since the Kennedy and Cuban missile crisis in 1962. '
President Joe Biden said the Russian president was 'not kidding' when he threatened to use nuclear weapons.
He said that for the first time since the Cuban missile crisis, we are facing a direct threat of using nuclear weapons.
President Joe Biden said he was trying to figure out what the Russian president's strategy would be.
The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in 1962 and was one of the most dangerous periods of the Cold War. The then US President John F. Kennedy announced the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba.
After this crisis, the world reached the brink of nuclear war, but after that, the discussion on the disadvantages of using nuclear weapons also started.
Recently, the Russian president threatened to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Experts say that Russia will use nuclear weapons on a limited scale, however, the US president warned that the destruction of using nuclear weapons is at risk of spreading on a large scale.
After the threat of nuclear weapons, experts said that "Russia's purpose of using tactical nuclear bombs in Ukraine is to intimidate it into negotiations or surrender and divide the country's pro-Western supporters."
