It may have just been coincidence, or perhaps something more symbolic, but whatever it was, Joe Biden saw the lights go out on him as he mentioned US "leadership" during his last major speech as vice president, in Davos, Switzerland.
"We are going to retain our position of leadership," Biden was telling the audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos, when the lights on stage began to dim.
Rendered a dark silhouette, and seemingly unimpressed, the outgoing vice president carried on talking about the West's ideas and visions of the world. "If we don't fight for our values, no one else will," he said from the darkness.
Moments later the lights came back on, allowing Biden to proceed with his rather dark warnings to the world.
Biden used his final major speech while in office to accuse Russia and President Vladimir Putin of "purposefully" aiming to "collapse the liberal international order."
Having stressed the importance of NATO being on guard against alleged Russian aggression, the US official said Moscow had "a different vision for the future."
In his remarks – while still in the light – he didn't miss the chance to accuse Russia of "cyber aggression," alleging it was used on Putin's orders to meddle in the presidential elections in the US.
European countries holding elections this year should be aware of "further attempts by Russia to meddle in the democratic process," he added.
With Putin seeking to "collapse" the world order, according to Biden, as of today yet another question remains unanswered: who meddled with the lighting system in Davos?

Creepy uncle joe’s lights have been out for a long time. Well except when matty lauer weeps magic tears.
Isn’t dimming the lights the universal sign that a speaker needs to “wrap it up”???
How appropriate.
This is how bartenders signal drunks that it’s past closing time.

He was talking to his audience, not Americans. Good riddance pea-brain.
In the original pic, the younger biker dude on the left (missing) is giving a concerned look to the biker dude on the right, wondering why Biden is soooo .... Biden.
[the liberal international order]
Ah, the one where men marry other men, men put on women’s dresses and use women’s restrooms and islamic jihadists are imported from other countries?
THAT liberal international “order”, Joe?
Of course. We know what you and your buddy BamBam have been doing to America and parts of the world.
My favorite creepy Joe photo is the one where he’s got his hand on a trooper’s knee and you can almost hear the man asking “WTF?” with the look he’s giving Ol’ Slow Joe...
I always liked the look on the guy’s face over the left shoulder of the main guy. Shoot, even the guy over his right shoulder, looking down.
You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here!
Just Go Biden. Just go.
