Geo Politics

On Thursday, U.S. President Joe Biden said the world was now as close to a “nuclear Armageddon” as it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis. What prompted those remarks were declarations by Moscow that it was willing to defend newly annexed territories using all means necessary, including nuclear weapons. Russia has also begun moving its nuclear assets towards the Ukrainian border, in what is being seen as a show of strength against Kyiv and its Western backers. So, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky chose to chime in as well. He evidently wants to become part of the ongoing nuclear sabre rattling.
