Joe Biden was forced to eat his words Tuesday — after a 2019 tweet resurfaced. “Putin knows that when I am president of the United States his days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe are over.” Then-candidate Biden continued to hint at the alleged “Russian interference” with the 2016 election and the theory that Putin had a vice-like grip on Trump’s interactions with Eastern Europe.
“I’m going to stand up to him”, Biden went on to say. On Tuesday, he had no choice but to announce that Russia has officially invaded Ukraine.
