> This is Biden too. Literally can unilaterally start a nuclear war.

So what? What does that have to do with anything?

Biden has never threatened nuclear war and has nothing to gain from it. Putin has threatened it repeatedly in the last few weeks.

Biden is more powerful than Putin, Stalin, or Hitler, but he is not as dangerous.

Because my reply was to:

>much more powerful and dangerous than Stalin or Hitler because

Note the "because", the exact same argument stands for Biden, but we wouldn't argue he's more powerful and dangerous than Stalin or Hitler. I was pointing out the weakness in the "because".

Biden frequently misspeaks or gets confused, and refuses to take dementia tests, so if he really can unilaterally launch then I'd actually be pretty worried about that.

(I think there are other people in the loop in the case of the US president though? Personally I've always been most worried about the Royal Navy's submarine captains, who really do have the ability to launch unilaterally in a very direct way)
