The Cuban Missile Crisis Echo: Biden’s October Speech Amid Fears of Escalation
According to New York Post, a recent report talked about how the Biden team got ready for Russia possibly using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The CIA told Biden there was a good chance Russia might do this if things went bad for them. This made Biden give a big speech in October 2022, warning about a scary situation like the Cuban Missile Crisis. US spies also said Russia might use nukes if Ukraine fought back well.
As the fighting went on, the CIA heard more talk from Russian soldiers about using small nuclear weapons. This worried US leaders because they’d given Ukraine lots of help to fight Russia. Even though at first, the US didn’t think Russia would use nukes, things changed as Ukraine did better in the fight. Behind closed doors, Biden’s team got ready for what they’d do if Russia launched a nuclear attack.
