Biden warns Russia Nato will respond if Kremlin uses chemical weapons
The Guardian ^ | Thu 24 Mar 2022 17.37 GMT | Dan Sabbagh and Jessica Elgot in Brussels

Posted on 03/25/2022 8:15:49 AM PDT by GonzoII

Joe Biden raised the stakes with Russia over its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by warning that Nato would be forced to respond if the Kremlin resorted to using chemical weapons.

Speaking in the aftermath of emergency Nato and G7 summits in Brussels, the US president said that any retaliation would be proportional, though he would not confirm that he would insist on military action.....

“We would respond,” Biden said, in response to a question about what Nato would do. “We would respond if he uses it. The nature of the response would depend on the nature of the use.”

The US wanted to see Russia thrown out of the G20 club of leading economic nations, although Biden complained that wasn’t immediately possible because “Indonesia and others do not agree”.

Biden and other western leaders have become fearful that a struggling Russia may try to end Ukraine’s stubborn resistance in the war that has already lasted a month and claimed thousands of lives, with a chemical – or biological or nuclear – attack.

This week it emerged that the White House had set up a special “Tiger Team” to work out how the US would respond if such an attack should take place. But on Thursday, Biden also said: “It would trigger a response in kind” – meaning it would reflect what had taken place.

Last I saw Russia threatened nukes, not chemical weapons. But this is rich coming from a govt that has already used chemical and biological weapons on its own citizens.

It's not a “response” unless they are used on a NATO member.

If they are used on the Ukraine, it can only on be an inter-meddling.

Oh stop with the anti American bullshit. Enough already!

No the vaccine policies are not the same as Russia launching chemical warfare.

If you can’t support the Trump policy in Ukraine, then don’t bother me about vaccines anymore. It works 2 ways.

Stop attaching your left wing pacifism to domestic conservative issues.

NATO would respond if chemical weapons were used...on a non-NATO country?

Yet another empty, laughable threat from Pedo Joe.
Hey isn't it America that was financing chemical weapons labs in Ukraine?
So how can Dementia Joe accuse Russia of wanting to use chemical weapons when its America building these weapons in Ukraine?

“No the vaccine policies are not the same as Russia launching chemical warfare.”

Now, there you go. Buying into the media BS. You should be smarter than that.

Tell me, please, exactly who set up and ran over a dozen biolabs (like Wuhan) in Ukraine over the last decade?? Hint: the initials are “US.”

I don’t think so. From the very beginning Russia’s self confessed greatest fear has been Ukrainian (primarily the Azov Battalions) false flags operations using WMD. This from Tass five days ago.

“UNITED NATIONS, March 22. /TASS/. The UN Security Council will review the incidents with poisonous chemicals in Ukraine Tuesday, Russian mission to the organization said.

“Today, the UN Security Council will review the situation with chemical incidents in Ukraine,” the mission said.

On March 19, Russian National Defense Control Center head Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev announced that Ukrainian nationalists rigged ammonia and chlorine storages in Ukraine’s Sumy in order to poison city residents when Russian forces enter the city. A similar provocation is being prepared in the town of Kotlyarovo in the Nikolayev Region, with toxic chemical containers already delivered to a local school, Mizintsev said”

Washington is just giving their media conglomerate a heads up as to what’s coming. The illegitimate thugs in the White House are known for their reliance on false flag operations.

Yep. Look for the Ukes to use chemical weapons on their own people any day now and try to blame it on the Russians.
