Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday will focus, as they always do, on a laundry list of priorities, but it may end up being the most memorable for what he says about the unfolding situation in Ukraine.
In excerpts released by the White House, Biden will put Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in historical context, saying that “when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs and threats to America and the world keep rising.
“That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War II. The United States is a member along with 29 other nations. It matters. American diplomacy matters. Putin’s war was premeditated and unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And, he thought he could divide us here at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.”
Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, will be among the guests sitting with First Lady Jill Biden. In a hint of whatever topics Biden plans to address, other guests include Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower, as the White House and many Capitol Hill lawmakers have been critical of social media platforms for the spread of misinformation.
Another guest will be Danielle Robinson, the surviving spouse of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson, who died after exposure to burn pits while serving. Jon Stewart has pushed for legislation to assist veterans suffering from diseases after such exposure, and is scheduled to appear at a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday.
Biden also plans to address inflation in his speech, arguing that his agenda will curb the rise in prices.
“Lower your costs, not your wages.

In his successful 2020 White House bid, candidate Joe Biden campaigned as a unifier trying to save the soul of America. Last night, in his first State of the Union address, the 46th President of the United States doubled down on that unity theme.
low approval ratings — even among people who previously voted for him in 2020 — Biden attempted to use his speech as a reset for his presidency, decrying Russia and its power-hungry President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine while offering praise and support for the Ukrainian resistance, and seeking to clarify his (and by extension, his party’s) positions on various domestic issues by calling for programs and bills that would make Americans’ lives easier, fight inflation, get the country back to “normal” following a two-year interruption caused by the pandemic, and calling on states and cities to deal with rising crime rates by fully funding police using money appropriated by the American Rescue Plan.But as he went through the litany of various domestic concerns, Biden seemingly hit on many of the issues and promises he had run on as a candidate for president, even though much of his priorities have been killed in the U.S. Senate, due to the inability to gain 60 votes to overcome the silent filibuster (exacerbated by the refusal of traditionalists to change Senate rules to either eliminate or reduce the 60-vote threshold, or require the minority to actively filibuster pieces of legislation, thereby calling attention to their opposition) as well as political posturing by conservative Democrats like Sens.
