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.

It's more B.S. for U.S. consumption.

There are no Biden policies that aren't designed to destroy America.

Sounds like Biden is a lot more concerned with Trump than he is with Putin.

This is rich. Biden said this? Insinuating he is strong against Trump? He thinks way too much of himself. Not gonna happen.

Oh yeah, JoeHo—who you gonna sic on Russia if they don’t dance to your tune? Your army of transgenders? Your sissified military after you purge all the conservatives from it? Or Maxine Waters and her atomic mouth? Methinks your “making it so” by scribbling your name on executive orders has gone to your head—pathetic as it is.

If Bush led this country down the primrose path of strategic over-reach, Biden is executive a program of strategic distraction, calling out Putin when we all know the real strategic threat.

I don’t recall Trump rolling over...

Perhaps Biden means Obama and Hillary and John Fin Kerry

It is crucial to the globalist cause to finish Obama’s breaking America, financially. War hawks are rising in place.

Middle Class foots the Biden bill for war and his costly EO’s to our own destruction.

So, another proxy war in Syria? Yemen is taken and slave trade is rolling along in Libya so those countries are out.

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

Ol' JoeHo just got confused; he thought he was mouthing off to Corn Pop. Putin probably politely covered his mouth with his hand. It would be like shooting a puppy in a barrel.

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

Said with a wink and a nod, and an immediate return to his pudding cup. Followed up two minutes later with a question to his Handlers.. “Was that Beau I was just talking to?”
