President Joe Biden continued to attack the Russian president Vladimir Putin Wednesday – blowing up his “unprovoked” attack on Ukraine and citing Jan. 6, as he said Putin had failed in his efforts to divide the United States.
“Vladimir Putin was counting on being able to divide the United States,” Biden said in a speech to Superior. Wisconsin.
“Look, how would you feel if you saw crowds storming and breaking down the doors of the British Parliament and killing five cops, injuring 145?” Or the German Bundestag or the Italian parliament? he asked.
“I think you’ll be wondering.” Well, that’s what the rest of the world saw. It is not what we are. And now we are proving under pressure that we are not this country. We are united. And people, this is how we managed to make sure that we would keep Europe united and the free world united. “
At the end of his speech, Biden seems to have spoken impregnably, having previously criticized Putin.
President Joe Biden tore apart Russian President Vladimir Putin in a speech Wednesday, citing January 6
He did so after failing to mention the state of the Union on January 6 in his address, although the topic hung over his last address to Congress.
This came at the end of a speech in his heart, where he highlighted the diversity of his administration, which he created to “look like America.”
He also said there were more women than men – although he failed to mention his historic Supreme Court candidate, Ketanji Brown Jackson.
It was his second strike against Putin on Wednesday, after dedicating the top of his speech to the state of Ukraine’s union.
Biden made comments in Wisconsin after using his speech on the state of the union to praise Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion – and won rare praise from both Republicans and Democrats.
“We, the United States of America, are with the Ukrainian people. We are with them, “Biden said in a speech at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, just across the water from Duluth.
“Vladimir Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was deliberate and unprovoked,” Biden said.

“He rejected repeated efforts in diplomacy,” Biden said.
“He thought the West and NATO would not respond. He thought we could be separated at home, and he was wrong, “Biden said, echoing comments from his speech on Tuesday night in prime time.
“Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever – and we will continue to help the Ukrainian people,” Biden promised on the day the UN General Assembly held a unilateral vote to condemn Russia’s actions.
“When that is over, Ukraine will leave Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger,” Biden said.

The president took off his mask for remarks the evening after meeting with unmasked lawmakers who passed a covid test at the Capitol.
Before Biden spoke, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) argued for the bridge, which he said could compete for infrastructure to avoid delays.
“I hope the president can say a good word about us,” he joked.
Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minoring), who joined Biden during the trip, used her introductory remarks to try to cover the dialogue on foreign policy.
“The bridges our country has built with the rest of the world to stand up to Ukraine’s democracy.”
He speaks in a state that was crucial to his victory over President Donald Trump in 2020.
Biden headed back to the industrial Midwest on Wednesday after giving his first speech on the state of the Union, where he said he should lose his nickname “rust belt”.

He could be seen with ashes on his forehead as he headed for the heavily Catholic state on Wednesday morning.
Biden answered only a few questions in the White House, saying it was “obvious” for NATO to decide whether Ukraine should join NATO. He said Russia was deliberately targeting civilians in its campaign to shell Ukrainian cities.
Biden was heading for Superior, Wisconsin, in a politically critical state he pulled from former President Donald Trump in 2020 after Trump secured a narrow victory there in 2016.
After giving a speech with a strong emphasis on the brutal invasion of Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden had to return to domestic politics, with plans to visit the Blatnik Bridge, which connects the state with Duluth, Min.
He brought with him two senators from the Midwest, Amy Klobuchar (D-Mininoran) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.).
Biden focused on technology investment in the Midwest during his speech to Congress. “As Ohio Senator Sherod Brown says, ‘It’s time to bury the Rust Belt label. It’s time, “Biden said.
According to the White House, the bridge, built in 1961 and crossing St. Louis Bay, “has deteriorated and is nearing the end of its useful life.”
“Due to the condition of the bridge, load limits have been introduced, with a maximum weight of 40 tonnes of vehicles crossing the bridge and the prohibition of large trucks and other heavy vehicles moving across the bridge,” according to basic materials.
The proposal is part of Biden’s program for a better America, which he highlighted in his speech after giving up the Build Back Better mantra, amid his inability to receive a $ 1.8 trillion package through the Senate.
