Joe Biden isn’t giving up, on the contrary, he’s agitating for Vladimir Putin. “A dictator determined to rebuild an empire will never quench a people’s love of freedom,” said the new words of the US President in a tweet from his personal account, which then continued very harshly: “Brutality will never destroy the will to freedom be free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia.
Biden has not in any way denied the words spoken in Warsaw in recent days, and in particular on Saturday: “I do not apologize. I don’t care what Putin thinks.” The US President had called Kremlin No. 1 a “butcher” and later said “this man cannot stay in power”. The White House then softened the president’s claims, and Biden himself clarified that the speech was not about regime change in Moscow: “Given his recent behavior, people should understand that he will continue to do what he thinks is necessary, Period. He is not conditioned by anyone, none of his advisors. It just follows its rhythm and the idea that it can do something terrible because I’ve defined it for what it is doesn’t seem rational to me. I expressed the moral outrage I felt at Putin’s behavior and this man’s actions.
When asked about his willingness to meet the Russian president, Biden said it “depends on what he wants to talk about” and confirmed, without going into detail, that there would be “a reasonable response” to a potential chemical attack from either side from Russia. Biden finally reiterated that “NATO has never been stronger than it is today,” adding that he was “not at all” concerned that his comments could exacerbate the conflict or weaken NATO.
