I don’t know how the world should deal with Biden, truly. Russia is not the power that is issuing threats. NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade. Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers.
"NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade." Which is nothing.
"Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers." LOL Now you are into delusional crackpot territory.
Wrt doing “nothing”:

June 2022 WSJ/National Opinion Research Center poll showed 55% of Ukrainians believed NATO (and 58% wrt the US, 70% wrt the Ukrainian govt.) bears some/a great deal of responsibility for the Russian invasion and ongoing war.

Are you a troll, or do you simply not know anything?
errmm, actually, history started in February 2022 ☝️🤓
Putin is a fascist. That is a fact. (so is Trump for that matter) Fascists should be opposed, this is also a fact.
My question is why do you uncritically support fascists?

He's an absolute dictator who has his (serious) opponents murdered. Seems clear to me.
Right, he’s a dictator who was elected by popular vote, because he’s very popular. Russians have good reason to like him: he kicked the Western capitalist neoliberal shock therapy plunderers out of the country (which is also why the West reviles him). It’s still a capitalist shithole, but at least it’s their shithole and not a neocolonized state anymore.
