World War 3 fears as expert warns Biden will face all out conflict with Russia or China
JOE BIDEN may have to fight a "big" war with either China or Russia as tensions continue to escalate, an expert has warned.
China: Xi 'sending message to Biden' says expert
Tensions between Russia and the US have escalated this week as Vladimir Putin continues to rally forces on the Ukrainian border. Experts have also warned that a potential conflict between China and Taiwan could force Washington to intervene.
US expert and journalist Nick Allen wrote in the Telegraph: “There is growing concern in the White House and the Pentagon that Joe Biden may one day have to fight a war.
“Not a small war. A big one. Against China or Russia.”
On Thursday, President Biden issued a warning to Mr Putin to de-escalate tensions at the Ukrainian border and “refrain from military action”.
Speaking at a White House press briefing, Mr Biden warned Moscow that a series of US sanctions on Russia could have been a lot tougher.

He said: “I urged [Putin] to respond appropriately, not to exceed it, because we can move as well.”
Mr Biden added: “If Russia continues to interfere with our democracy. I'm prepared to take further actions to respond. It is my responsibility as president of the United States to do so.”
The top US military chief in Europe, General Tod Wolters, warned on Thursday that there is a “low to medium” risk that Russia will invade the Ukraine over the next few weeks.
But according to Mr Allen “for the first time, China is now considered the most severe threat to US national security,” he wrote.
The expert warned that Beijing has been increasing its pressure since Mr Biden took office in January.
