US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that the use of nuclear weapons [from Putin] would have catastrophic effects” and confirmed that the US has a plan if the Russian president threatened the entire globe after the defeat in Ukraine.
But Blinken refused to reveal exactly what America's response would be if the situation escalated to the use of nuclear weapons from Putin.
Blinken in an interview for CBS The news also said American officials had asked the Kremlin to stop free conversations about nuclear weapons” and that it was worried that no one in Putin's inner circle would challenge him if he made the decision to use nuclear weapons.
Vladimir Putin last week issued a threat he was preparing to launch a nuclear attack if Russian territory, according to him, is threatened. These warnings were widely condemned by the West, reports Sky News.
In his speech, Putin, desperate with defeats in Ukraine, warned the globe that “was not bluffing”.
President Beden said last week that a US response would be “following”, but neither did he refuse to elaborate on what “pass” would be.
Nuclear weapons have not been used since two atom bombs were dropped in Japan in 1945. However, there were points in the Cold War, such as the Cuban missile crisis, when the danger was too high.
