Why is Joe Biden saying we have a threat of nukes and buying drugs for nuclear victims?

Is it either A) because there IS a threat?

or B) To keep people scared and keep the Ukraine grift money machine alive?

Honestly, I don’t know, so I chose that option.

If intelligence is indicating that this is a real threat, I want to know about it, even if I have no faith in our “adults in the room” Democrats to handle the situation, as they have been absolutely abysmal for the past 1.5 years.

However I’m not sure why he’s talking about this now. I don’t think it does anything to help Democrats in November at all, since most people have no conference in them anyway. I also don’t think it causes anyone to warm up to the idea to continue the blank checks for Ukraine, either. Democrats generally love inflicting pain on this country and they love times of crisis and fear, so maybe it’s just an effort to whip up some of that, since people don’t care about COVID anymore?

He is building fear so he can look like a savior when nothing actually happens. He wants to be Kennedy 2.0, except Kennedy had a real threat in front of him. Brandon is manufacturing fear and dissention to cover up his own corruption and to convince his constituents that he saved the world from nuclear war, that was never going to happen in the first place.

I think biden is the worst president we ever had, but I believe nuclear threat is real and it has nothing to do with biden.

It all depends on if you want to take putin seriously at this moment. I think if putin is desperate enough, nuclear weapon might be one of his options. Will he attack the u.s. which means the death of Russia as well? Who really knows?

I agree with cowboy, I also selected Don't know, not sure.

Because he and Putin are both a little soft in the head.

This morning Zelensky is telling NATO to preemptively strike Russia so they don't strike first.

Who knew that Ukraine would try to be leader of the world.

We do NOT want Ukraine in NATO

There has always been a threat, so it's a matter of degree. I'd put the 'overall' threat at a 5-6 on a scale of 1 (least) to 10 (most). Personally to reduce the nuclear threat, the ruskies are gonna have to take out Putin themselves. In addition the Iran thing troubles me. Israel will not allow the Iranians to have a nuke and for good reason. They will nuke Iran before the Iranians can nuke them. The Iranians are bat shi* crazy.

So what are the signs?

Is Putin in his bunker? is rocket man hiding? Pakistan and India hate each other and are combatants too. China would prefer to create a island of nuclear rubble than to allow Taiwan's independence. Japan is hated by most Asians since the last world war. North Korea would certainly attack Japan with nukes, but I doubt if they would nuke South Korea.

These are unsettling times. Wars and rumors of wars... be not afraid, for these things must pass.
