mind? that s really the subtext of all the conversations about whether the russian president is actually willing to drive humanity to the brink of a nuclear disaster. i bet it s keeping president biden up at night. how about you? how are you sleeping since president biden used the word armageddon ? i ll ask how close he thinks we are to the brink and what options are on the table in our exclusive interview. as biden noted n ukraine, putin s choices, his options are narrowing. translator: we will defend our land by all means at our disposal. we ll do everything to ensure the security of our people. breaking ut our putin-english, english-putin dictionary, what he means by land is ukraine. our people, he means the ukrainians who have taken up arms to stop him. when he says about the by any means at our disposal, that s rhetoric that has gone nuclear. translator: is u.s. is is the only country in the world to have used nuclear weapons on two occasions, resulting in the des
every ship on the black sea. which sounds a lot like world war iii. this is where we are right now. the u.s. and russia on the brink of a full-on war with a blood-thirsty dictator. president biden said for the first time since the cuban missile crisis, we have a threat of a nuclear weapon if things continue down the path they re going. let s go back to that moment. let s go back to the time that another democratic president made this announcement not so dissimilar 60 years ago this very month. on october 22nd, 1962, president john f. kennedy broadcast a special message to the nation from his office in the white house. nuclear weapons are so destructive, and ballistic missiles so swift, that any substantially increased possibility of their use or any sudden change in their deployment may well be regarded
went to saudi arabia and fist bumped with the crown prince because now obviously a few months later, saudi-backed opec is slashing production in partnership with russia. the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee called for a freeze, including most arms sales. senator durbin, the number one democrat in the senate, says the saudis sided with russia against the united states. do you think it s time for the u.s. to rethink its relationship with saudi arabia? yes. and, by the way, let s get straight why i went. i didn t go about oil. i went about making sure that we made sure we weren t going to walk away from with middle east and what was going on. by the way, today, i just got off the telephone with the president of i got off the phone with the prime minister of israel and the president of lebanon. they ve worked out a deal. they declared war with one another for a long time. they ve worked out a
with him at the g20? look, i have no intention of meeting with him, but, for example, if he came to me at the g20 and said i want to talk about the release of griner, i d meet with him. it would depend. but i can t imagine look, we ve taken a position. i just did a g-7 meeting this morning. the idea nothing about ukraine without ukraine, so i m not about to nor is anyone else prepared to negotiate with him about keeping any part of ukraine, et cetera. so it would depend on specifically what he wanted to talk about. look, he s acted brutally. i think he s committed war crimes. so i don t see any rationale to meet with him now. when people hear the word armageddon they get scared when used by a u.s. president. they get scared. do you think in any way discussing this type of thing publicly, openly, putin s
