Tucker gives a synopsis of Biden’s first State of the Union address, and continues to urge wisdom in responding to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Highlights include:

“Joe Biden delivered this country’s first ever State of Ukraine address last night. Biden spoke for a little more than an hour before a joint session of Congress. He talked far more about Ukraine and with much greater passion than about any other topic.”

“If that sounds strange for an American president in a speech that’s supposed to be about America, it didn’t seem weird at all within the context of last night. Biden delivered exactly the speech his audience wanted to hear.”

“At this stage, the full force of America’s federal government, the White House, the Congress, the many intelligence and defense and law enforcement agencies … all of it has been redirected to avenge the invasion of Ukraine. Notice the verb, avenge, not defend.”

“Now, ideally you’d like to think there would be some way to defend Ukraine from Russian aggression. But at this point, there isn’t, it’s too late. Joe Biden’s deterrent strategy failed, Putin already invaded the country. Short of destroying Ukraine, there is no way to liberate Ukraine by force. All we can do is punish the Russians for what they’ve already done, and that, Joe Biden told us last night, is exactly what he plans to do.”

“What’s the point of all of this? Putin is bad, no one in America is going to argue with that, but will destroying the entire Russian economy make Putin less bad? Will it force Russian troops to withdraw from Ukraine, and if it will, how exactly will that work and how long will it take?”

“Or is the plan bigger than that? Is the idea that we can force Vladimir Putin from office entirely? Okay, will that work? And if that does work, what happens to Russia after Vladimir Putin leaves? Would the next Russian president be an improvement over Putin, or would Russia descend in to barbarous chaos like Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan did once we overthrew their governments?”

“Keep in mind, the people, the very people who are proposing all of this are the very same people who defunded our police departments, and destroyed our schools, and tore down the Teddy Roosevelt statue in New York City. They’re the ones who armed the Taliban, they’re the ones who devalued the US dollar, they’re the ones who brought human slavery back to Libya. They’re very good at wrecking things, it’s what they do… So we might want to make sure they don’t wreck anything else ever again, especially this country. But, once again, Joe Biden didn’t address any of that last night. He was too deep in his World War 2 fantasies with himself playing FDR.”

“At one point, Joe Biden said we needed to fund police departments, the ones that his party defunded, and then, in case you hadn’t had enough beers by that point, Joe Biden said we must secure the border. Now, why is Joe Biden saying this? Far be it for us to suggest there were terrifying internal
l polls suggesting he has to say those things. But we’re starting to conclude that, because just a few minutes after Joe Biden said we need to secure the border, he announced amnesty for millions of foreign nationals who snuck into our country.”
