Biden Eats Pizza With US Troops in Poland

▶️President Joe Biden met with U.S. troops stationed near Poland’s border with Ukraine on Friday, also visiting a barber shop and dining facility set up for the troops, where he joined them to share some pizza.

👉 U.S. President Joe Biden is visiting Poland on Friday in support of allied responses to the humanitarian and human rights crises sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as allies take new action to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Poland, a NATO ally, has taken in millions of Ukrainian refugees.

Biden met with U.S. troops stationed in Jasionka near Poland’s border with Ukraine while awaiting the arrival of Polish President Andrzej Duda.

Duda was delayed when his plane suffered a mechanical issue en route, forcing him to return to Poland's capital, Warsaw. Officials said Duda was never in any danger, and the Polish leader eventually arrived in the eastern town of Rzeszów to meet with Biden.

Biden’s arrival in Poland came hours after meeting Friday in Brussels with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, after which they announced formation of a joint task force to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian fossil fuels.

Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin has used the profits from its energy sales "to drive his war machine" in Ukraine. Biden said he wanted "to make it clear that the American people would not be part of subsidizing Putin’s brutal, unjustified war against the people of Ukraine."

"Let me just take an unplanned break here and eat a slice of this totally random prop pizza"

[artemartem]

now instead of asking him his favorite ice cream flavor, the press will ask him what kind of pizza he had.

Imagine Putin, in a room full of sharp objects, surrounded by his conscripts. I only wish!

In the 1980's my mom's family had a get-together for WW2 vets in the family. Then senator Biden paid them a visit. My grandfather was in the hospital for heart surgery and couldn't be there. Biden went to the hospital the next day to visit him.

Joe was really bummed out when told they would not be at Chucky Cheese with children running around.

I think it’s funny that they couldn’t take him seriously, if I were in the military and I saw him I wouldn’t either I’d just laugh like they was

[christianspain]

Good on him, this is the support they need and deserve.
