Biden Says Alternative To Sanctions Against Russia Would Be Third World War by bn365: 6:08am On Oct 30, 2022
US President Joe Biden said an alternative to tough sanctions that Washington has slapped on Russia would be the Third World War.

"You have two options. Start a Third World War, go to war with Russia, physically. Or two, make sure that the country that acts so contrary to international law ends up paying a price for having done it," Biden said in an interview with blogger Brian Tyler Cohen. The video was posted on his YouTube page on Saturday.

The US president noted that no sanctions are immediate. "But I think these sanctions, I know these sanctions are the broadest sanctions in history, and economic sanctions and political sanctions," Biden said.

"Russia will pay a serious price for this short term and long term, particularly long term," the US leader stressed.


Footnote: Sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union are not sanctioned by the United Nations.

That would be world against Russia. How would they win? Even the nuclear weapon they're bragging about has an antidote. While the fool is busy threatening to unleash nuclear war on his perceived enemies, the quest had stockpiled iodine in billion volumes serenely.

Let's see how far he'd go against the world. To those backing this foolish man, America is the fiercest when it comes to war. Once they make a step forward, they hardly go back until their enemy's lands are in ruins and that's why they hardly fight. War is their middle name . They should go and watch American war documentary. Maybe they'd have a sense of reasoning. Enough said

I always tell folks, even on the bird app, to read, read bro. When I mean read, I dont just mean read panflets of propganda, read educational books.
You talking about the world against Russia shows your ignorance in geopolitics. It shows you gulp in western media without any pinch of salt. When you say the world do you mean NATO members and some European countries.
It's a WW and the only countries that will get direct hit are Russia, the US some Western countries, a few asian countries. The iodine in question are for the wealthy and powerful and for countries that did not get direct hit. In the US today, many Rich and powerful men are acquiring bunkers, in the old Soviet union there bunkers all over, Azov steel plant was an example.
Do you think the US or western Nations are prepared for a Nuclear war like North Korea and Russia?
A wise scientist ones said " I know not the weapons that will be used to fight in WW3 but the weapons that will be used to fight in WW4 will be sticks and stones"
There will be no winner if there is a world war. The earth's climate will change. No amount of iodine can curtail the effects of Nuclear Radiation.

The DemonRat party is a party of war.

America has gone to war most of her time with a Masonic DemonRat in power who is a slave to Zionism.

Woodrow Wilson WW1

Roosevelt WW2

Truman Korean war

LBJ Vietnam

The uniparty of RINOs and Demonrats gave us the endless wars of terror from Bush Snr to this gaffe Biden.

Trump wanted nothing of the such and was rigged out so they can continue their senseless blood lust for Judas.

USA and their ineffective baggage of sanctions. Thought people said 2 months into Russia's special operation in Ukraine, it's economy will crumble and there will be massive uprising against Putin in Russia cuz of hardship due to sanctions?? Alas, there's been more hardship and protest in the West more than in Russia so far.

We told you guyz reality is different from HOLLYWOOD but BBC/CNN analyst wont let us rest.

OK.

Then let me lay it out for you what your choice entails :

1. There will be no ground war.

2. Things will escalate quickly to a nuclear exchange first involving tactical nuclear strikes within minutes that will take out most European cities.

3. From there things will escalate with the big nasty nuke exchange that will wipe out 75% of the population in Europe, N.America, China, Japan, Korea.

4. OK, now you are saying it won't get to your nigger corner but in a few days,the jet stream currents that circulate the earth, will bring most of that fallout to every single square inch of the planet. When exposed to this, you will die a slow painful death after inhaling the radioactive dust particles.

5. Let's assume you are smart enough to know about radiation fallout and remain below ground with enough food supplies and water to last you for weeks if not months , sooner or later, you will need to come out from your rat hole to forage for food and water and much needed sunlight. Hope you have industrial 3M masks with high grade filters to prevent you inhaling dust particles that will still linger in the air. You will also need a Geiger meter to guide you on potential radioactive hotspots. Now let's assume you have all this and some how miraculously survive for weeks and then come out from your bunker with your 3M mask and Geiger meter in hand, you will find the earth is nothing like you knew it to be despite no nuclear exchange happening over your nigger shithole but it will bs looking like so because the mob would have burnt , raped and pillaged their way during Armageddon night. Everywhere will be desolate and look like a war zone. The sun will be obscured in a changing hue from grey in the early mornings to a reddish mars like hue and the sun barely visibily even at noon. The hot midday sun you are used to no longer provides warmth and the air is cold and dry.

But these are the least of your worries because there will be others like you who've miracously survived the Jewish Holocaust on mankind and they are hungry and haven't eaten for days. You are now on the menu.

I hope you like apocalyptic futuristic mad max scenarios as depicted by Hollywood, because this is your future.

A survivor of an apocalyptic nuclear exchange who now exists in a Nuclear winter world will wish he or she was killed in the original blasts.

Nuclear war is no joke and a nuclear winter is considered a Life Ending Event, LEE.

100% of the Population in N.Africa , Europe and Asia will die within 6 months.

In lower latitudes, fatalities are expected to be within 25% for same period mostly from civil strife and anarchy. There will be no rule of law and criminals, terrorists will have a fee day.

Within a year, 50-75% in Lowe latitudes who survived the anarchy will succumb to radiation illness, hunger and starvation.

In 2-3ys, less than 5% of the population will still exist and their existence will be back to preindustrial levels but even worse because there will be hardly any food or wild life to forage on. Most of these 5% population will be cannibalistic .

That idiot does not understand what a nuclear war is and what it entails.
