President Biden said Tuesday that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would “change the world” — moments after reiterating that he has “no intention of putting American forces or NATO forces” in the threatened country.
“There will be enormous consequences if he were to go in and invade, as he could, the entire country — or a lot less than as well — for Russia, not only in terms of economic consequences and political consequences,” Biden told reporters, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“But there will be enormous consequences worldwide,” the president continued. “This would be the largest — if he were to move in with all those forces — it would be the largest invasion since World War II. It would change the world.”
Biden made the remarks during an unscheduled trip to Capitol Hill, where he shopped at a small business called Honey Made — and bought a coffee mug depicting Vice President Kamala Harris — before treating himself to a mid-winter ice cream at another shop nearby.
