Biden tells Putin: U.S. no longer 'rolling over'

President Joe Biden on Thursday told Russia that the United States would no longer be “rolling over” in the face of aggressive action by Moscow, declaring a new, tough approach by Washington.

Visiting the State Department, Biden also promised to repair alliances and engage with the world again. “American leadership” must meet rising authoritarianism and unite with partners to combat global challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic or climate change, he said.

Biden, as expected, adopted a sterner tone with Russian President Vladimir Putin than his predecessor, Donald Trump.

“I made it clear to President Putin in a manner very different from my predecessor, that the days the United States rolling over in the face of Russia’s aggressive actions, interfering with our elections, cyber attacks, poisoning citizens are over,” Biden said. The two leaders spoke by phone in late January.

“We will not hesitate to raise the cost on Russia and defend our vital interests and our people, and we will be more effective in dealing with Russia when we work in coalition and coordination with other like-minded partners,” he said.

"I’m sure Vladimir is shaking in his boots."

Yep... Just got these images of him right after the phone call: 😂 🤣

Nothing like a conversation with a mumbling incoherent richard-head to tickle your tummy...

Trump was tougher on Russia than Biden could ever dream of being.

And that suppose to be good or something?

What has Russia done? Mind their country?

Get off the high horse already! US is 100 x worse at the moment, but that's cool, I guess..

Does this mean we will sell the rest of our Uranium stockpile to Russia?

No, just the weapons grade, which Biden made Putin promise to return to us if we have a falling out in the future.

Here is the "diversity" army that Biden will use to see off Putin.

He has that one laugh that he should have used on Biden.

Biden is just tragically off base on so many things.

Someone sold him a bill of goods, and he chowed down.

If anyone believes he talked tough with Putin that person is a moron.

It would be seriously funny if Putin publicly stated that he has not spoken to Xiden at all.

It would also be seriously scary. But I think we already know the situation is scary without Pooty's input.

Really? President Trump was much tougher on Russia than his predecessors - certainly much tougher than Obama/Biden. Put had free reign under Obama especially...did whatever he wanted when he wanted.

“The 1980s called. They want their foreign policy back.”

Obama, Biden, and their allies made fun people for saying Russia was a threat.
