BREAKING: Rumors Of Nuclear War Ramp Up After Biden Considers Helping Ukraine Take Back Crimea

According to the NY Times, the Biden administration is starting to warm up to the idea of getting the United States more deeply involved in the Russia-Ukraine war by helping Zelenksy’s forces to take back Crimea. The Crimean Peninsula was annexed by Russia in 2014 during a time when the United States was also lacking leadership in the White House with Barack Hussein Obama at the helm.

Here’s the report:

For years, the United States has insisted that Crimea is still part of Ukraine. Yet the Biden administration has held to a hard line since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, refusing to provide Kyiv with the weapons it needs to target the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia has been using as a base for launching devastating strikes. Now that line is starting to soften.

After months of discussions with Ukrainian officials, the Biden administration is finally starting to concede that Kyiv may need the power to strike the Russian sanctuary, even if such a move increases the risk of escalation, according to several U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive debate. Crimea, between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, is home to tens of thousands of dug-in Russian troops and numerous Russian military bases.

Privately, military and administration officials had questioned the utility of Ukraine focusing attacks on Crimea, arguing Kyiv’s military had better targets elsewhere on the battlefield.

But the Biden administration has come to believe that if the Ukrainian military can show Russia that its control of Crimea can be threatened, that would strengthen Kyiv’s position in any future negotiations. In addition, fears that the Kremlin would retaliate using a tactical nuclear weapon have dimmed, U.S. officials and experts said — though they cautioned that the risk remained.

Ron Paul reacted to the news by tweeting that this move would risk nuclear war:

U.S. May Risk Nuclear Conflict, Over Crimea? Are Americans OK With This?

Many others on Twitter also suggested the same:

Does anyone have a plan for how to safely end this war? Or is our plan the same as Afghanistan — send as much money and equipment as possible and hope for the best? What is our plan if Russia decides it would rather use nuclear weapons than lose Crimea or Donbas? (3/X)

This isn't making America safer. All we are doing is slowly but surely bringing ourselves closer to one of two outcomes:

1) Dead U.S. troops, or
2) Nuclear war.

While I understand the appeal of increasing Ukrainian leverage by putting Crimea in play, the fact that Russia has not used nuclear weapons yet is poor evidence that it would not do so to protect Crimea. https://t.co/4Pk91OqqtR

Insanely reckless from the Biden administration, and yet more signs we're barrelling into something disastrous. Numerous experts have said putting Russian control of Crimea in danger may be the most likely scenario for nuclear escalation. https://t.co/LoSV3esuLE

A retired US General said this:

Retired US General: "If the Ukrainian military was having great success in the spring, and was chopping up the Russian military and was threatening taking back Crimea, then I think that the Russian military and leadership would use a nuclear weapon." https://t.co/ObCgHureyh
