Depending on who you listen to, you’ll get a completely different reaction to Joe Biden’s speech at 'NATO' addressing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. His sycophants will tell you it was not only “historic,” but that it surpassed Ronald Reagan’s famous “tear down this wall” speech. And as to the massive gaffe at the end, well, at least Biden is mean to Putin or something; consequences for millions of innocent people need not apply.

Is it any surprise Mark Knoller was relieved of his position as a so-called journalist, with his comment above???
Obviously, those who aren’t as partial to the president weren’t nearly as impressed. I found the speech to be meandering and generic, long on talk and short on action. In response to the idea that it measured up to Ronald Reagan’s proclamation about the Berlin Wall, I’d suggest that we wouldn’t even remember that moment if the wall hadn’t been, you know, actually torn down. In short, words are cheap, and Biden is a top wholesaler.

Anyone can get up and read a teleprompter, throw out some tough talk, and then head back to their Delaware beach house. The test of Biden’s speech is not whether it sounded good (and it really didn’t), but if it actually leads to anything tangible–and I wouldn’t count on that.
But just in case anyone wants to accuse me of being a partisan for holding that opinion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has responded to the speech, and it wasn’t positive.

That’s the correct take, regardless of whether one personally thinks the US should be more involved in Ukraine at the moment. If Biden weren’t trying to present himself as a savior, “uniting'” the world against Russian aggression, then Zelensky’s critique might be out of bounds. But what Biden is doing is what he’s always done throughout his political career, which is to pretend he’s in the thick of the action when he’s actually just falsely pumping up his ego. We saw it with his lies about being arrested in South Africa, his lies about being part of the Civil Rights movement, and his lies about a black man named “Cornpop.”

Zelensky is desperate for help, and perhaps it’s not smart for the US to get directly involved in a war with Russia, but can you blame him for not suffering fools? I can’t imagine how frustrating it is for the Ukrainian president to see someone like Biden playing celebrity on the world stage and taking credit for things he didn’t even do, while refusing to take direct action.
Again, I’m not arguing one way or the other about what level the US should respond going forward in regards to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I believe people can disagree on that point in good faith without either side being evil, and there are clearly serious variables to consider in regards to challenging a nuclear power. Still, I completely agree with Zelensky that lofty speeches (and Biden’s was far from that) are not helpful at this point. Either take action or shut up and support from the sidelines. Biden’s attempt to raise his own profile on the backs of dead Ukrainians is gross, and it’s not helping him back at home anyway.

Biden has been corrupt his entire career and now has gone senile; his pretending to be presidential is a very sad joke on America. The mainstream media will show their bias for the left every single day no matter how bad the person is and what they are doing to the country. Joe Biden has a consistent 45 year history of disgrace, a history which records no noteworthy speeches, and his last one was not either.
A man of such character cannot motivate a group of people; he can only deceive and manipulate some of them, but he is not a leader by any measure. Biden is nothing but a bragging punk and joke, all mouth, no brains or spine. There is literally no one of sound mind that believes his speech was historic and positive for America. To compare Biden to Ronald Regan is also quite sad.
Biden will have his place in history but it will not be positive. Not one drop of U.S. blood should be spilled in Ukraine, this is a Ukraine-Russia war. We are being told to worry about the wrong battle, it is here in our own country. Election stolen, vaccine deaths and injuries, government created inflation, censorship rampant, Southern border crisis etc. We are told to worry about a war on the other side of the world when our government is trying to devise ways to enslave us here.
Little that Biden says surprises me; I know that some older men will rant and rave about how brave they once were. It comes from looking back on your life and knowing you may have accomplished great things but did not. I cannot name one thing Biden did in his many years in government that made this country better. He is an empty suit that is kept inflated with his own hot air, no one should lean on it for support. Biden has been using Ukraine for his personal advantage in domestic politics and family finances for more than a decade now.
