Brilliant so far. Biden quotes Lincoln: “Right makes might”. Says Putin tells “lies”. Will update with video when available.
Watch live here:
Update 1:34pm — The speech is also being carried live on MSNBC.
Update 1:35pm — LoL Biden just said Putin “isn’t much a student of history.”
Update 1:37 — Biden speaks directly to the people of Russia. He doesn’t think any of them are in favor of bombing children, etc…he describes similarities to WWII and earlier. Says this is exactly what the Russian army is doing to Ukraine now. “This war is not worthy of the Russian people.”
Update 1:41pm — Let’s remember the hammer blow that brought down the Berlin Wall…Together it was an undeniable force of the people that the Soviet Union could not withstand…greater than any one dictator…let the words of Pope JPII…”Be not afraid”.
“For God’s sake this man can not remain in Power”.
Update 1:48pm — the speech has ended. That last sentence was pretty historic, in bold above.
