Biden Says Alternatives to Sanctions Against Russia Could Have Led to World War III

Biden has stated that the alternative to imposing severe sanctions on Russia, prompted by its aggression against Ukraine, would have been the start of World War III. This is reported by RIA.

Reliable sources from CNN have also indicated that the U.S. and the EU are considering options for removing Russia from the SWIFT system, although this would not apply to everyone. Not all banks and individual organizations would fall under the sanctions framework.
