US President Joe Biden calls Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus 'absolutely irresponsible'.
US President Joe Biden said on Monday, June 19, the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is “real,” days after denouncing Russia’s deployment of such weapons in Belarus.
“When I was out here about two years ago saying I worried about the Colorado river drying up, everybody looked at me like I was crazy,” Biden told a group of donors in California on Monday. Last week, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said his country has started taking delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons, some of which he said were three times more powerful than the atomic bombs the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
The United States has said it has no intention of altering its stance on strategic nuclear weapons in response to the deployment and has not seen any signs that Russia is preparing to use a nuclear weapon.
