Ukraine war: President Biden says nuclear risk highest since 1962 – BBC News
The risk of a nuclear “Armageddon” is at its highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, US President Joe Biden has said.
Mr Biden said Russia’s President Vladimir Putin was “not joking” when he spoke of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering setbacks in Ukraine.
However, the US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan last week said that, despite Moscow’s nuclear hints, the US had seen no signs that Russia was imminently preparing to use a nuclear weapon.
In Ukraine, the war continues to claim lives with a series of Russian rocket attacks on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia killing at least seven people, local officials said.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

1234 So the dancing comic is going to cause ww 3? Is Russia faced with the same threat that America was with missiles in Cuba?
Dear Editor,
Why is it so hard to understand why Russia invaded the strategic area of Ukraine? Had Russia not removed missiles from Cuba we would have invaded Cuba even it meant WW 3! When East and West Germany merged, we assured the Soviet Union that we would not bring weapons any closer to their borders. Now we surround them with NATO members. The US has 700+ military bases around the world and spends 2.5 times more than both China and Russia combined on defense. Are we reacting so irrational and on the verge of WW3 because Ukraine has the goods on both Joe and Hunter Biden?

The most irresponsible atomic power is USA itself which has dropped two atom bombs on Japan and killed thousands of innocent peoples and still involve in many wars and unrest in the world. Second dangerous atomic power is India where Uranium is openly trade in market but no body raise voice against India.
Resia sent armed force to Ukrain then USA, Europe and other countries imposed sanctions on Russia but India occupied Kashmir with the use of 80000 armed forces since last 40 years but USA and other world do not impose sanction on India

How much money Zelensky has taken? For Zelensky, it has become an excellent business the war. Like always the ukranian people are not better off. -¿Cuánto dinero ha tomado Zelensky? Para Zelensky, se ha convertido en un excelente negocio la guerra. Como siempre, los ucranianos no están mejor. Y todavía los ukranianos pueden sufrir más. Civilians? It seems Siria or Irak. The idiots forgot Vietnam already.

Then stop the posturing Biden and get everyone around the negioiating table. But you don't actually want that do you? This ends with cumunication, concessions and conceading some victories on both sides. Which by the way WAS happerning untill Johnson convined Zelenskyy not to concead anything.

Ahh yes. When the Soviet Union attempted to expand itself a few hundred miles from the coast of Florida. USA got its knickers in a right twist over it. So much for Cuba’s sovereign right to join the Warsaw Pact. Oh but wait it’s wrong for Russia to get its knickers in a twist not wanting USA led Nato doing the same. Let that hypocrisy sink in.
