In addition, the American leader noted that Russia "is already interfering" in the upcoming US congressional elections, "spreading misinformation."
Balbeck, in turn, recalled the statement by former US President Barack Obama about the allegedly "torn to shreds of the Russian economy", adding that Russia, on the contrary, made a "significant leap" in agriculture and industry.
According to the parliamentarian, the development of, for example, Crimea shows that the Russian economy, even having received "powerful blows" from the West, "is firmly on its feet."
“So the US leaders get excited in their statements, voice their desires, and not the real state of affairs,” the deputy noted.
At the same time, he added that the statement about nuclear weapons and oil can be regarded as "a repetition of cliched phrases."
Commenting on the accusations against Russia, the interlocutor of RT said that the American president urgently needs an "enemy" with whom he "will scare his compatriots to ensure the dominance of the Democrats in all structures of power."
“They are competing with each other to find out who will frighten the American people with the Russian 'threat' more,” Balbeck concluded.
Earlier, Biden said that the Russian economy relies only on nuclear weapons and oil resources.
