Preventing a Nuclear Catastrophe

US Stress To Stop Putin From Launching Nuclear Strikes Revealed In Woodward's Latest

Intelligence reports indicating a potential nuclear escalation in Ukraine sent shockwaves through the Biden administration, prompting urgent action to prevent catastrophe.

According to AP News, journalist Bob Woodward's new book "War" reveals that U.S. intelligence pointed to a 50% chance of Russia using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine during a critical moment of the conflict. The book details the scramble within the U.S. government to prevent such a devastating scenario from unfolding.

In late September 2022, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan received alarming intelligence suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin was seriously considering the use of nuclear weapons to avoid major battlefield losses in Ukraine. This information came as Ukrainian forces were making significant gains, particularly in the strategic city of Kherson.

Woodward's book also reveals President Biden's frustration with the Obama administration's response to Russia's actions in 2014, when it seized Crimea and parts of the Donbas region. Biden reportedly criticized the lack of action at that time, suggesting it may have emboldened Putin's later aggression in Ukraine.

The book quotes Biden as saying to a close friend in December: "They f----- up in 2014. Barack never took Putin seriously."

The excerpt from Woodward's book that got my attention is how Trump has been calling Putin regularly since losing the election in 2020. I also found the information that Trump gave Putin a supply of COVID tests during the early days of COVID when they were hard for Americans to come by very interesting.

I never thought of Bob Woodward as anything but a troublemaker, and at 81, I see he's still at it.

There's a lot of evil people in the swamp and he's one of them! Thank you President Trump for trying to save our world from nuclear weapons use!
