He's actually done the exact opposite when he directly refused to supply Ukraine with long range missiles early in the conflict, when they had the manpower and logistics to attack Russia directly. But instead he doomed Ukraine to a war of attrition what they can't possibly hope to win without a serious import of soldiers (which isn't happening). Biden handed Ukraine to Russia.
hindsight is 20-20, and even then i’m not sure that would have been the right choice
back then we there were a lot of people legitimately very worried that russia would use nukes if they felt “cheated”… international diplomacy is a tricky shit show of a game. who knows what would have happened
Enemy boots on your land is the only time I can think to legitimately use a nuclear weapon

Never implied they did.
