“You Be Quiet,” Biden tells reporter asking about Putin’s threat of war with US

Biden snaps at reporter after Putin warns of ‘lightning fast’ retaliation if US deploys troops to Ukraine

President Joe Biden snapped at a reporter on Wednesday after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of “lightning fast” retaliation if the US deploys troops to Ukraine.

When asked by a reporter if he was concerned about Putin’s threat, Biden responded, “You be quiet.”

Putin’s warning came in a televised address to the Russian people, in which he said that any deployment of US troops to Ukraine would be a “direct threat” to Russia.

“We will not stand idly by if our legitimate interests are threatened,” Putin said. “We will respond immediately and in a manner that will leave no doubt about our resolve.”

Biden’s response to Putin’s warning was met with criticism from some quarters, who accused him of being dismissive of a serious threat.

However, others defended Biden’s response, saying that he was simply trying to avoid escalating tensions with Russia.

The US and Russia have been engaged in a tense standoff over Ukraine for months, with the US threatening to impose sanctions on Russia if it invades the country.

Russia has denied that it plans to invade Ukraine, but it has massed troops on the border, raising fears that it could be preparing for an attack.

The situation in Ukraine is a major test for Biden, who has vowed to stand up to Putin’s aggression.

However, Biden is also wary of provoking a wider conflict with Russia, which could have devastating consequences.
