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 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.

Tonight, @POTUS made strong, solid points on Putin's nuclear threats. He fully understands the stakes. He warned: “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.”
