I’m glad someone took the time to put subtitles on this speech. This is mumble-mouth gibberish.
RT:
President Joe Biden on Tuesday described the conflict in Ukraine as a historic “inflection point [that] comes along every six or eight generations,” and described the US’ role in the conflict as fighting the first “real battle” in a civilizational struggle versus Russia and China. Biden also promised to send billions more dollars worth of aid to Kiev.
“We’re at an inflection point in history. It comes along about every six or eight generations,” Biden said, during a visit to a Lockheed Martin factory in Alabama, adding that “things are changing so rapidly that we have to be in control.”
It is unclear what the last “inflection point” referenced by Biden was, with six to eight generations describing anywhere between 100 and 200 years ago.
Yeah, what exactly are we talking about happening in the 19th century?
Also, how can “we” be fighting for “values” of the 19th century? Biden’s values are completely different now than they were in the 1990s.
In the 19th century, just like in the 1990s, no one was fighting for child gay anal rimjobs or sticking anything into the asses of small children, but that appears to be the entire basis of the “ideology” behind the war with Russia and China.
However, Biden went on to describe the US’ mission in Ukraine in grander terms than simply shipping arms to an ally.
“There’s an ongoing battle between autocracy and democracy,” he said, referring to China and Russia as enemies of supposed Western “democracies.” The conflict in Ukraine, he added, is “the first real battle” in this clash of civilizations.
Washington’s rhetoric on Ukraine has hardened in recent weeks, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently stating that “we want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine,” and Biden himself appearing to call for a regime change in Moscow on several occasions.
Russia is already treating the conflict as a de-facto war against NATO, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accusing the US-led military alliance of “essentially going to war with Russia through a proxy and arming that proxy.” Biden also apparently acknowledged on Tuesday that the US was engaged in a proxy war with Russia, telling workers at the Lockheed Martin plant that American weapons shipments were “making it possible for the Ukrainian people to defend themselves without us having to risk getting in a third world war by sending American soldiers.”
I just… can’t see how anyone but the most privileged are going to be buying this narrative.
Flowery words about some grand historic struggle of civilizations don’t mean much to the people actually living the dream in the American hellscape.

Biden already only has the most privileged supporting him.
As Americans start to realize just how heavy the cost of this war is going to be at home – probably via the impending food shortages, which the Biden people are already blaming on their war effort – you’re probably going to see a backlash across the board from people who would rather live their lives in peace than engage in some kind of vague grand struggle for child anal rimjobs.
