Bob Woodward on Russia considering using nuclear weapons against Ukraine

“This is a coin flip and one of the key people in the Biden White House is saying, ‘My God, this is what it must’ve been like in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis. Living on the edge.’ … Should Russia, should Putin order the use of tactical nuclear weapons, the world changes. In the Biden administration, they obviously don’t want to have it happen on their watch. But they realize if it does happen, they define an era.” – Bob Woodward

  1. Ukraine agreed to give up nukes and russia agreed NOT to attack. Big mistake. Now russia threatens with nukes. Goes to show what ANY deal with russia is worth. Nothing.

  2. Woodward just cooked another fake story. I'm astonished that there are still gullible fools to believe this BS. Trump didn't give COVID tests to Putin personally, he promised to send them to Russia as a gesture of good will. There were readouts from the call about it from both sides that were made public at the time. Russians had no intention to use tactical nukes. Just the opposite, the call was about Austin stopping Zelenskyy from trying to recapture NPP and stopping shelling of it. Numerous failed Ukrainian attempts to recapture NPP were later admitted by Zelenskyy intelligence chief.

  5. The last generation remembered the world war. They remembered how many lives it took and how much effort it cost to stop it. They saw in real time the use of nuclear weapons and their consequences. Today's big kids in suits don't know that. They think they can play with fire and ride it. Until history reminds them again what nuclear weapons were designed for. They are used to being able to buy everything with green аmerican papers. But those pieces of paper won't save them.

  6. By continuing to regurgitate the nuke topic, you are helping Putin with his propaganda to scare the west into inaction. There is ZERO benefit for Putin to use nukes, and every reputable analyst will confirm that. Nukes are part of information war, not kinetic war. Stop spreading fear and start acting decisively to defeat Putin.

  7. Okay iw as interested until he added his political opinion… Trump didnt need to plan on this because the world was mostly in peace during his administration..

  8. Meanwhile, here in America: The Fascist right is probably the largest, best armed, volunteer guerrilla militia in the world. The "modern" NRA is thought of in the Republican Party as its military wing, much the same way Sinn Fein appreciates the I.R.A.
    They have been arming for a fight since the Oklahoma City bombing. There are Nazis marching in our streets and on our campuses. They have a billion dollar propaganda and communications system.
    They have obviously infiltrated the U.S. government at its highest level. They have found someone audacious, arrogant and antagonistic enough to be their leader. He and Moscow Mitch stacked SCOTUS.
    There have been "lone wolf" attacks on Schools, Churches and Open Society for decades.
    There have been terrorist attacks on Electrical Infrastructure, Bad Actors are crossing state lines with intent to create mayhem. January 6th thugs had a cache of weapons at hand.
    There have been bloody murderous skirmishes and people have been killed with assault weapons and cars at counter protests
    There have been plots to kidnap and assassinate Democratic leaders as well as threats and attacks on their families.
    And not in the least, The U.S. Capitol Building was besieged and besmirched by feces, ransacked and its occupants HUNTED by an intentionally agitated mob brought together for the purpose.
    For a generation now, A faction of the old G.O.P. has been holding American Democracy and government operations hostage as often as possible and demonizing anyone who doesn't agree with their way of thinking. Rush Limbaugh got a P.M.oF. for being a pioneering Charlatan and propagandist.
    Does anyone truly think a Harris victory matters with respect to how far the far right is willing to go to defeat Liberalism? Trump has already declared victory. Prepare for a constitutional Crisis and hope for Justice and Freedom to prevail in America.
    It's hard to believe anyone could be convinced to vote themselves into Authoritarianism, but, American Democracy has been under serious attack by a Fascist Ideology for a long time.
    When trump molests Old Glory and mouths "I love you baby" I want to puke on his shoes.

    What does Dededo mean in Guam?
    So as one measures “one inch, two inches, three inches” the name Dededo was derived the measurement of two fingers indicating two inches. There is another word that could possibly give this village its name. The word “dedeggo” means a person who walks on tiptoes so as not to wake up those who are sleeping.

  24. What he is saying between the lines so eloquently is that the US prevented Ukraine from incurring catastrophic losses on Russia, or maybe their complete defeat early on, and the US will continue to not allow Russia to lose, because of the US’s fear of nuclear weapons being used. This is negotiating with terrorists to me, and it will only incentivize the terrorists to continue to threaten the use of nukes. That’s why you don’t negotiate with terrorists. This isn’t a win.
