July 28, 2021 "Russia is already spreading disinformation in an attempt to influence next year's US midterm elections." Joe Biden said this while addressing the US intelligence community, visiting the headquarters of the National Intelligence Directorate. The US administration considers Russian President Vladimir Putin a "dangerous" character because his country's economy is based "only on nuclear weapons and oil wells and nothing else", Biden later said, stressing that Putin "knows he is in difficulties and this makes it even more dangerous ".
Biden warned that cyber-attacks could one day trigger "a real armed conflict" and recalled how cyber threats are causing significant damage in the real world. The US president then warned that China is on track to become the largest military force in the world and the largest economy on the planet, milestones it will achieve at this rate, he said, in the 2040s.
