US Policy on Russia: Who Joe Biden Trusts

Washington It is the worst-case scenario – one that no longer seems as improbable as it has in recent decades. The idea that Russian President Vladimir Putin would use biological and nuclear weapons in the middle of Europe or attack a NATO member or another country like Moldova or Georgia is something that hardly any security expert would rule out these days.

Politicians in western capitals had to adjust to this and suddenly play through scenarios that should have been ruled out long ago. First and foremost the USA, which has the most powerful army in the world – and nuclear weapons. While US President Joe Biden wants to avoid anything that would directly involve his country in a new war, he cannot afford to ignore this danger.
