Journalist Bob Woodward has published the book “War,” which traces the history of three conflicts: the Middle East, Ukraine and Russia, as well as the struggle for the presidency of the United States.
In it, he reveals some of the conversations that current US President Joe Biden had and the information he had to manage to avoid a global conflict.
“Six months after Putin’s faltering invasion of Ukraine and in the face of a Ukrainian counteroffensive, the Biden administration began receiving alarming reports that the Russian president was growing increasingly desperate over his battlefield losses,” Woodward writes.
“New intelligence reports indicated that there was a 50% chance that Russia would use a tactical nuclear weapon,” writes Bob Woodward.
Joe Biden orders his teams to contact Moscow. A first tense telephone exchange takes place between the American and Russian defense ministers.
“I don’t like being threatened,” Shoigu warns. “Minister,” Lloyd Austin replies, “I am the leader of the most powerful army in the history of the world. I don’t make threats.”
