‘Be Quiet’: Biden Raps Reporter For Asking About Putin’s Threat Of War With US

Biden on Putin’s Threat of War

President Joe Biden told a reporter to “be quiet” when asked about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat of nuclear war against the United States. The exchange happened during a press conference in Brussels, Belgium, where Biden was meeting with NATO allies to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.

A reporter asked Biden if he was concerned about Putin's threat to use nuclear weapons. Biden responded by saying that he was "not going to speculate" about what Putin might do, but that he was "confident" that the US could deter any Russian attack.

Biden’s Warning to Putin

Biden also used the press conference to warn Putin that any use of nuclear weapons would be met with a "devastating" response from the US and its allies.

“If Putin were to use nuclear weapons, it would be a serious mistake,” Biden said. “It would be the most serious mistake of his life. It would change the face of war as we know it.”

Biden's comments come after Putin warned that he was willing to use nuclear weapons if Russia was attacked by NATO forces. The US has said that it will not send troops to fight in Ukraine, but it has provided the country with weapons and other assistance.

US Response to Putin’s Threat

The US has said that it is taking Putin's threat seriously and that it is prepared to respond with force if necessary. The US has also said that it is working with its allies to develop a plan to deter any Russian attack.

The US and its allies have also imposed sanctions on Russia in an effort to pressure Putin to end the war in Ukraine. The sanctions have targeted Russia's economy, its financial system, and its energy sector.

The US has also provided military assistance to Ukraine, including weapons, equipment, and training. The US has also sent troops to Poland and Romania to bolster NATO's presence in the region.
