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.

Chemical weapons are considered WMD. To use them on civilians is considered a war crime. I believe NATO would act. Using such weapons so close to other countries, even Russia would be a crossover point. Putin is a madman.

Not impressed. My mind visualizes a bunch of 20 somethings sitting around in plaid pajamas drinking coffee.
Biden should be careful of drawing redlines that they can't keep. Regardless of what Russia does or does not do, it does not change that fact there is zero national interest in Ukraine and this is Europe's problem.
“Biden warns...” and the rest of the world rolls it’s eyes

Sternly-worded letter to The New York Times.
Chemical weapons are only bad if the other side uses them.
Potassium Nitrate + Sulfur + Charcoal/Carbon
Or glycerol with a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acid.
All pretty much “Chemical” weapons.
Here he goes again. Biden keeps pushing for chemical weapons. When ya going to do it Joe? Which Ukes get chem weapons used on them so you can blame Russia, Joe?
And yes, Joe Biden is far less credible than Putin. Biden is a pants pooping brain dead sock puppet.
They won’t use chemical weapons, but the Deep State will false flag with them like they did in Syria to get NATO into the war and Russia will start using tactical nukes and its game over.
Dammit, it seems I'm not on the list of approved questioners to call on...
Agreed.
Joe is practically drooling over the idea someone will use chemical weapons in the Ukraine.
It won’t be Russia. Putin has gone out of his way to avoid killing civilians.
Joe Biden is a fool, idiot, and worse.
The Russians are winning. Overwhelmingly. There is absolutely no reason for them to want to use chemical weapons. So, this potentially setting up a false flag to justify US and NATO involvement in the war.
Indeed if not they would have done something before now.
Now all Ukraine need do it fake a chemicals weapons attack—this happened in Syria—and NATO will step in and save the day. Might lose a few Children—but they are doomed to death if something is not done. WW III here we come.
Dumb as a brick Hannity said that if Putin uses a nuke (even a small one) We should “blow Russia off the map,” Not thinking that even one boomer sub could launch enough rockets with nukes to turn American into a wasteland. How many Americans want to die for Ukraine? How many Americans want to have their families die? Their children—to make Mr. K in Kiev feel good?
Only winner—Red China. and south America. Poor Europe would not be spared in the destruction? How can any rational person even say this?
^^^^THIS X100…
Exactly! This is the reason they are propagandizing the results out of the war to make it look like the Russians would use this type of attack as an act of desperation. It is really vice-versa!
You are 100% right on! The stupid are plunging head long into disaster!
No one respects Biteme or the joint chiefs-their own doing by acting like wussy woke leftist.
I have some yahoo actually arguing on twitter that once the ICBM’s fly they will try and take out our industry and finance first and not military assets such as ICBM bases, SSBN bases, SAC bases and command and control centers like Omaha, Washington and NYC, because we won’t be able to rebuild without industry and finance. Rebuild in a radioactive cesspool? Are they that stupid!
We have a bunch of neocons and progressives spoiling for a fight that is not in our strategic interests over a corrupt third world cesspool of a country that is not even in NATO. We are trying to act like TR and swing the Big Stick and pick a fight and we in reality look like Corporal Klinger to the world. This time we might get it and it will get out of control and we will pay with idiots on both sides bumbling their way into a nuclear exchange.
You could very well be right...
