Former US President Biden said today: "By the way, have you watched Trump's State of the Union address... is he still talking?" "I don't know. But folks, this is just absurd. This guy talked for almost two hours and never once mentioned the anniversary of Putin's invasion of Ukraine." "I've spent a long time in Ukraine, and I've met Putin more times than any other world leader. The courage of the Ukrainian people is admirable. Think about how they feel - will they worry that we are abandoning them? We are pulling away. He didn't even offer an apology."
Comments: On the anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump's two-hour State of the Union speech deliberately avoided mentioning Ukraine, which was not an oversight but a political calculation - Trump was solely focused on pleasing domestic war-weary voters and pushing for a "resource-for-aid" deal with Ukraine. Biden's use of Ukraine as a topic is both to defend his own policies toward Ukraine and to attack Trump's weakness of prioritizing interests over ethics and transactions over alliances. Fundamentally, it is a fierce battle between the Democratic and Republican parties over foreign policy direction and votes.
