Weapons of mass destruction could cause countless civilian casualties and provoke greater military involvement by the U.S. and other nations. 

From Fox News. President Biden needs to draw a clear red line, now, and make it known to Kremlin officials that the United States will not stand for the use of weapons of mass destruction and detail the “devastating consequences” he recently promised.

We cannot afford to make the same mistakes of the Obama-Biden administration in allowing such inhumane attacks to take place.

In 2012, President Obama declared an infamous “red line” with the Assad regime if they were to use chemical weapons in Syria.

Despite this warning, the Assad regime moved forward in deploying chemical weapons. The State Department estimates the Assad regime deployed chemical weapons over 50 times since the start of the Syrian conflict, notably using nerve agents in Damascus that killed over 1,500 in an attack – many of them children.

The Obama-Biden administration’s refusal to act on such barbaric attacks will forever stain our credibility….

President Biden should personally state clearly that all options are on the table, including U.S. intervention, if Russia uses WMDs in Ukraine. And he must make Putin believe he will make good on his word….

The administration must also stop making vague promises of “severe consequences” and make clear that the U.S. will intervene if WMDs are used and that every Russian general involved will be charged with war crimes….

Lastly, the Biden administration should make clear that Putin will be treated as an enemy of the international community and his grip on power will no longer be recognized. This should include trying him as a war criminal in international courts, seeking to expel Russia from the United Nations, and implementing a fully enforced economic boycott of Russia….

Should we fail to deter Putin from taking that next step, not only will the people of Ukraine continue to suffer mass atrocities, I fear China, North Korea and Iran will be next to push the bounds of their ruthlessness against sovereign neighbors.
