Biden urges world leaders to stand up to Russia over Ukraine

President Joe Biden made a robust case before the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that the world must remain united in defending Ukraine against Russian aggression, warning that no nation can be secure if “we allow Ukraine to be carved up”.

He called on world leaders not to let support for Ukraine diminish, arguing that Russia is counting on countries to grow tired of prolonged conflict in Kyiv which will “allow it to brutalise Ukraine without consequence”.

Russia alone is standing in the way of a resolution, Mr Biden argued, saying that Moscow’s price for peace was “Ukraine’s capitulation, Ukraine’s territory and Ukraine’s children”.

Every time he says Russia replace it with America and there you have the truth.

Every time I see or hear Zelenskyy he sets of my slime ball radar

[canalboating]

Biden should urge his legs to stand up when he's going up steps

My question is why did the US sent Boris to Kiev to force Ukraine to back down from the peace treaty in 2022?

He's Dangerous, if yhis was trump he'd be labled a war monger 😂

Let's go one thing clear... "Putin's ten day military operation" would've been exactly that.
But the Americans decided to not allow it. That's why it was unsuccessful, a complete and utter disaster.
Zelensky would've been on the first plane out of Ukraine and the nationalistic party would've been left in complete disarray.
If the Americans hadn't of guaranteed Zelensky's safety.

Why do you think Zelensky is still fearlessly wandering about?
Jetting off, all over Ukraine, Europe and the US. 
The Americans have made it clear to the Russians that Zelensky is off limits. 

What does that mean to the overall 'simplistic' narrative that you've been indoctrinated into?
Is everything as it seems... or is it far more complicated and convoluted than that?

[AndyJ]

For gods sake will one of the UN allies in favour of the Ukraine buy Zelenskyy a new shirt?! Poor man’s been wearing the same one all the way through this war

[baileygregory]

A bit hypocritical coming from the us who no one stands up against

Biden could hardly string a sentence together, pooped his pants and went to bed early.
