Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed President Biden’s claim that Russia will attack NATO territory if it wins the war in Ukraine, calling the idea “nonsense.”
President Biden and officials in his administration have been claiming Russia will invade NATO countries in Eastern Europe if the US doesn’t continue funding the war in Ukraine and that American troops would then have to fight.
“If Putin takes Ukraine, he won’t stop there,” Biden said in a recent speech where he pleaded for more spending on the Ukraine war. “If Putin attacks a NATO Ally — if he keeps going and then he attacks a NATO Ally — well, we’ve committed as a NATO member that we’d defend every inch of NATO territory.”
Biden continued, “Then we’ll have something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today: American troops fighting Russian troops — American troops fighting Russian troops if he moves into other parts of NATO.”
Responding to the claim, Putin said he had no interest in fighting NATO. “It is complete nonsense – and I think President Biden understands that,” he said. “Russia has no reason, no interest — no geopolitical interest, neither economic, political nor military — to fight with NATO countries.”
President Biden is seeking over $60 billion to fuel the war in Ukraine and prop up the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky, even though Ukrainian forces have no chance of beating Russia on the battlefield.
Congress has yet to approve the aid as Republicans are seeking changes to border policies and immigration laws. The Senate will continue to negotiate this week, but a final bill won’t be passed until after the new year as the House has adjourned for its holiday recess.
What thoughtful aid we provide, helping so many people spend lots of quiet time in wooden boxes.
Yes, we help them realize the American Dream, when they finally “Rest in Peace.”
President Putin, respectfully, seriously??? Both our countries, need to have a serious sit down and put our heads together, to see the best ways to avert any more possibilities of further WAR or possible escalation…
Oh, you finally showing some objectivity and calling out both sides.
Why would President Putin even respond to a known senile liar and criminal named Joey Biden?
FJB and his handler POS obama.
I agree but they “put” “Put”in in a difficult spot when they asked him the question. Is it better if he gets up from his chair and wonders around like he has dementia or something?
Putin also called Biden’s claims that Russia was getting ready to invade Ukraine, a nonsense. And we know what happened shortly after.
There are many Russian propagandists and Kremline officials making statements about moving West for more land after they achieve theirs goals in Ukraine so… Putin’s calling anyone out it’s just pure BS.
You’re so eager to seem right, that you ignore Mearsheimer’s essay posted just today that effectively proves you wrong.

And now, Donald, you have to start playing a long game here. You should really consider what you have left of your reputation, and where you’re going with it.
Facts, evidence, and reality are rapidly stacking up against your worn and shabby narrative on Putin, the RF, and Ukraine. Every essay by the likes of Porter, Mearsheimer, Carpenter, Bandow, McGovern et. al. just illustrates the false (or at best, flimsy) claims you make.
Where hence go you ? Double down as knowledgeable scholars as I have cited, repeatedly refute your horsesh*ttery ?
Or maybe do you either reframe your screeds to incorporate at least SOME observable reality, or, perhaps phrase your wishes for what they are ? “I hope that…” or “I think it best if…” or, “Ideally, it’ll turn out that…” statements at least don’t have the stubborn reek of “reality is what I say it is, regardless of what reality shows reality is”.
Really want to help you be a better counter-point, here, Donald.
The fact is there is a greater chance of the US hitting Russia in a FIRST STRIKE with NUKES , to take out Russian NUKES on the ground .
It’s obvious from this session, Putin knows well to stay intimate with that “Big Red Button” on top of his desk. He might be taking it with him to bed since he doesn’t have a wife to keep him cozy if you know what I mean.
Desperate Biden is running out of excuses…!
Sadly, most Americans take his warning seriously, and the Congress knows it. My bet, he gets the $60 B.
Vlad is actually stating that if Russia can’t handle a small army like Ukraine, then why would Russia think it could go up against all of NATO. It’s called suicide.
Bring on the trolls!
