Joe Biden’s stance on Ukraine-Russia conflict

Biden addressed the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, expressing solidarity with Ukraine and condemning the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

However, when discussing Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Biden appeared to falter.

“Putin was certain that NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] would fracture. I met with him right after being elected president before, right after I was sworn in, and we talked about this very issue," he said.

"The fall, he attacked that fall—he decided to, look, I shouldn’t get into this probably. It gets me a little excited,” he further said, according to Newsweek

Joe Biden trolled for getting 'sidetracked from teleprompter' 

More users questioned Biden's speech gaffe asking how someone reading from a teleprompter gets sidetracked.

"How does one get sidetracked when reading straight from a teleprompter? The man is gone," wrote one more X user. 

"SMH. Quit giving that man a microphone. His handlers should be ashamed of themselves," commented another user. 

One referred to his upcoming debate with former president Donald Trump saying, "Gonna be an interesting debate. He can't even read the teleprompter now."

"If he keeps this up, we're going to have to all get a subscription to an interpretation language app, just to understand what he's saying!" wrote one more.
