Now Biden has said that we will "respond in kind"
if Putin uses WMDs. I strongly suspect that this is just
Biden being Biden, ie, stupidly saying some ill considered
stream of consciousness. But threatening Russian soldiers
with biological or chemical weapons can only increase
hostilities between USA & Russia.
Such violent rhetoric will likely make it more politically
difficult for Putin to lose face if he ends his invasion.

President
Joe Biden said Thursday that NATO would respond “in kind” if Russia uses weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine.
“We will respond if he uses it,” Biden said, referring to Russian President
Vladimir Putin. “The nature of the response depends on the nature of the use.”
The president spoke after a marathon of summit meetings with the European Union, G-7 partners and NATO allies.
