​​​​​​​Gabbard: Biden and Congress pushing the world to the brink of ‘a nuclear holocaust’

Former US Congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has said President Joe Biden and leaders in Congress are actively pushing the world to the brink of “a nuclear holocaust.”

“We have too many people in Washington who are warmongers, subservient to the military-industrial complex, and continuing to put their own selfish interests and the interests of their donors first, with no mind for the cost and consequence that their decisions have on the American people,” Gabbard said in a recent Fox News interview.

“That’s exactly what we’re seeing right now with President Biden and leaders in Congress, whose decisions are actively pushing us to the brink of a nuclear holocaust, of which they may have their bunkers where they’ll be safe, but we the American people will have no shelter, no place to go, no place to hide, and face the consequences that could destroy all of humanity and the world as we know it,” she added.

The former Representative of Hawaii quit the Democratic Party on Tuesday, saying today’s Democratic Party is "under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers."

Tensions have escalated to a dangerous level between the US and Russia over Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin last month hinted at being willing to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The Russian leader called up to 300,000 reservists to aid Russia and threatened to use the country’s nuclear weapons in face of the US-led aggression against his country. 

“This is not a bluff,” Putin said. “And those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the weathervane can turn and point towards them.”

Last week, former CIA director and retired US army general David Petraeus said that the United States would destroy Russia’s troops and equipment in Ukraine and sink its Black Sea fleet if it carried out a nuclear attack in the country.

Russia’s army will be 'annihilated' if it nukes Ukraine, EU foreign policy chief warns

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has warned Russia that its army would be "annihilated" by the US-led military alliance if uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

Gabbard served in combat zones in Iraq as a member of the Hawaii National Guard between 2004 and 2005.

Gabbard has repeatedly spoken against neoconservative war hawks with a history of supporting regime change wars.

The US military-industrial complex has targeted Gabbard, an Iraq war veteran, after she campaigned to end America’s “forever wars,” and called Hillary Clinton “the queen of warmongers.” 

She had been demonized by the mainstream US media and branded a traitor after she opposed the US regime-change campaign in Syria.

“I felt it important to take the opportunity to meet with the president-elect now, before the drumbeats of war that neocons have been beating drag us into an escalation of the war to overthrow the Syrian government,” Gabbard said in 2016 after meeting Donald Trump.

Weeks later, she traveled to Syria to see the horrific conditions on the ground, and she met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

In the 2020 race, Gabbard brought her anti-war message to the primary debates and humiliated Kamala Harris as a hypocrite on criminal justice.

After her first debate performance, she became the most searched candidate online, but

Tulsi Gabbard: Hillary Clinton is the ‘the queen of warmongers’

Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard has called Hillary Clinton the “embodiment of corruption” and “the queen of warmongers.”

In 2019, Gabbard warned that a war with Iran would be "far more devastating" for America than the Iraq War ever was.

She also blasted then-US President Donald Trump for withdrawing the country from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
