In a pair of speeches, Biden recounted the operation that he said marked the beginning of the "Great crusade to liberate Europe from tyranny" before drawing a direct connection to where things stand with the war in Ukraine.
Biden called Russian president Vladamir Putin a tyrant who invaded Ukraine simply because he is "Bent on domination." Biden then renewed one of his favorite tropes, asserting that if Ukraine falls, its people will be subjugated, its neighbors will be in immediate danger, and all of Europe will be threatened by Putin's aggressive ambitions.
Last year's long-anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive was meant to drive Russian forces out of Ukraine.
The problem persists, leading Ukrainian officials to tap into the country's prison population, cut consular services to military-aged Ukrainian men living abroad, and forbid men who are dual citizens from leaving Ukraine.
Many Ukrainians have been killed or maimed as the war has devolved into a brutal trench-style artillery war.
As if hampering Russia's ability to confirm that they are not under a nuclear attack after allowing Ukraine to shoot US missiles into Russia wasn't enough, the US then test-fired two nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles-launching them four thousand miles from California to the Marshall Islands.
The Russian early-warning radar Ukraine hit wasn't even aimed at Ukrainian airspace.
