The United States did not have any new intel about Russia and nuclear weapons before President Biden’s stark “Armageddon” warning, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.

The big picture: Biden warned Thursday that the U.S. faces the highest chance of “Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis” after Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a veiled nuclear threat last month.

What she said: “The president was speaking about concerns about Putin’s threats to use nuclear weapons,” Pierre said.

  • “We have not seen any reason to adjust our own strategic nuclear posture,” she added. “Nor do we have indications that Russia is preparing to imminently use nuclear weapons.”

Flashback: Biden’s “Armageddon” comments came after Putin promised at the end of September to use “all the means at our disposal” to protect Russia.

Biden said at a fundraiser Thursday night that Putin “is not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons because his military is, you might say, significantly underperforming,”

  • “First time since the Cuban missile crisis, we have a direct threat of the use nuclear weapon if in fact things continue down the path they are going,” he added.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Biden’s warning was “an appeal to start yet another world war with unpredictable, monstrous consequences,” according to RIA, a Russian state-owned news agency, per Reuters.

Kash Patel: Biden’s Fear-Mongering Claims Of Nuclear Fallout

Former Trump national security adviser Kash Patel talks to host Steve Bannon about a variety of issues, including the Biden administration’s drumbeats of nuclear war, the danger of illegal immigration and crime in our streets, and Biden’s new executive order which bends the knee to Europe by complying to a European court’s rules for data collection.

“What this administration has done … is shocking… because Europe wants to dictate for the first time … how America collects against its enemies, and listen we don’t just collect against our enemy China in China… China is operating against us all over Europe. Russia is operating against us all over Europe. So the problem I have with this executive order is … they have put in place language that allows the Europeans to object and appeal any collection order that the United States engages in.”
