And you guys will ask me all about Russia and not about anything having to do with chips.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden triggered widespread condemnation after his remarks regarding Russia at Wednesday\u2019s press conference.<\/p>\n<p>A reporter asked, \u201cYour top foreign policy advisors have warned that Russia is now ready to attack Ukraine. But there\u2019s still little unity among European allies about what a package of sanctions against Moscow would look like. If the U.S. and NATO aren\u2019t willing to put troops on the line to defend Ukraine and American allies can\u2019t agree on a sanctions package, hasn\u2019t the U.S. and the West lost nearly all of its leverage over Vladimir Putin? And given how ineffective sanctions have been in deterring Putin in the past, why should the threat of new sanctions give him pause?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, because he\u2019s never seen sanctions like the ones I promised will be imposed if he moves, number one,\u201d Biden answered. \u201cNumber two, we\u2019re in a situation where Vladimir Putin is about to \u2014 we\u2019ve had very frank discussions, Vladimir Putin and I. And the idea that NATO is not going to be united, I don\u2019t buy. I\u2019ve spoken to every major NATO leader. We\u2019ve had the NATO-Russian summit. We\u2019ve had other \u2014 the OSCE has met, et cetera.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then he burbled, \u201cAnd so, I think what you\u2019re going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It\u2019s one thing if it\u2019s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera. But if they actually do what they\u2019re capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further ingra- \u2014 invade Ukraine, and that our allies and partners are ready to impose severe costs and significant harm on Russia and the Russian economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked later to clarify what he meant by \u201cminor incursion,\u201d Biden said he drew the line at \u201cRussian forces crossing the border, killing Ukrainian fighters,\u201d CNN reported.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-has-to-issue-statement-cleaning-up-bidens-disastrous-remarks-on-russia-ukraine\/\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported, \u201cBiden\u2019s comments were widely interpreted as giving a green light to Putin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Source close to Zelensky admin on Biden\u2019s Russia\/Ukraine remarks: \u201cThe fallout [in Kyiv] will be nuclear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alex Ward (@alexbward) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexbward\/status\/1483942845396537351?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CNN: Kyiv officials \u201cshocked\u201d and \u201cstunned\u201d by Biden\u2019s statement on a potential Russian invasion.
