Russia threatens US nuclear war by Christmas? Here's what we know of threats and possible responses — Representative image.

Russia and Ukraine are currently in the midst of a war, and the United States is playing quite an important role in this situation, having supplied long-range missiles to Ukraine recently, which has now turned up the geopolitical by a notch. After the United States gave permission to the Ukraine to charge long-range nuclear missiles, Russia has directly threatened US about launching nuke strikes at Western nations by Christmas.

Britain and France have also been dragged into this open threat by Russian top officials after these two NATO nations permitted Ukraine to charge long-range missiles on Russia, something that has triggered an international crisis, with the probability of things ending up like a World War III scenario. The shock move of providing long-range nukes and even allowing Russia's enemy country to fire them, was a highly surprising scenario on the Russian officials' part.

Is Donald Trump in favor of the Ukraine-Russia war?

Even Donald Trump Jr, the son of the President-elect of the US, is of the opinion that Joe Biden is trying to trigger a World War III scenario, before his father takes over as the President of the United States, which could lead to a global crisis which may need to be resolved then. Trump is always the 'resolution' person in such cases, and has been couching for a diplomatic discussion between the countries in this conflict, which could get jeopardized if a war-like situation goes out of hand before Trump takes over.
