Biden ) Putin: If you touch a NATO country, American troops will be in Russia

US President Joe Biden has threatened Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin not to touch even a centimeter of NATO, or he will pay dearly.

For 75 years, NATO has preserved peace in Europe, has been the cornerstone of American security. And if Putin attacks an ally in NATO we will protect every centimeter of NATO, as the treaty requires. We'll have something we don't want. We make it clear that we don't want to... we don't want to have American troops fighting in Russia or fighting against Russia”, Biden said during a speech in front of the American nation after his visit to Israel.

History has taught us that when terrorists don't pay for their terror, when dictators don't pay for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction.

They do not stop and the costs and threats against America and the world only add to”, the American president added.

So if we don't stop Putin's appetite for power and control in Ukraine, it will not be limited to Ukraine. Putin has threatened to remind Poland that its western lands were a gift from Russia. One of his main advisers, a former president of Russia, has called Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Russia's Baltic provinces. These are all allies in NATO”.

Beden also declared that Israel and Ukraine's success in their wars is vital to the security of the United States. For this reason, Biden asked for an American administration's commitment to these two conflicts as he vowed to ask Congress for billion dollar aid packages.

If international aggression is allowed to continue, conflict and chaos can spread to other parts of the world. Hamas and Putin represent various threats, but they have a common one. They want to completely destroy a neighbouring democracy”, President Biden said.

The White House head explained that this was the main reason why in the coming days he would send Congress an urgent request for financing worth 105 billion euros.

President Beden's speech comes a day after his trip to Israel, where he showed solidarity with the battle of this country against Hamas while calling for more humanitarian aid to Palestinians at the Gaza Strip.
