"Can't We Just Honor The Veterans?": Biden Makes D-Day Anniversary About Ukraine
The radicals behind President Joe Biden's teleprompter couldn't resist the opportunity to make D-Day about Donald Trump and Ukraine.
Biden, who didn't mention Russian President Vladimir Putin or Trump by name, likened the war in Ukraine to WWII during remarks at an American cemetary in Colleville-sur-Mer for the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy.
"We’re living in a time when democracy is more at risk across the world than any point since the end of World War II," read Biden during the Thursday speech.
"Isolationism was not the answer 80 years ago and is not the answer today," he continued, defending the role of NATO as essential to preserving freedom. "To surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators, is simply unthinkable. Were we to do that, it means we would be forgetting what happened here on these hallowed beaches. Make no mistake: we will not bow down, we will not forget."
"The autocrats of the world are watching closely to see what happens in Ukraine, to see if we let this illegal aggression go unchecked...Were we to do it, it means we'd be forgetting what happened here these hallowed beaches," Biden continued, unaware of the irony that woke leftism is an autocratic ideology that demands compliance.
Biden insisted that if the west doesn't repel Russia, "Ukraine will be subjugated and it will not end there. Ukraine’s neighbors will be threatened, all of Europe will be threatened."
"To surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators is simply unthinkable... make no mistake, we will not bow down, we will not forget."

Meanwhile, Biden also - sat in an invisible chair, forgot where his seat was, talked about Russians dying in Ukraine, and was herded away from veterans by his wife, Greg Price notes on X.

Biden's rhetoric did not go over well.
O-BIDEN address the D-Day veterans, rested and juiced up. Biden starts talking about Russia and Ukraine and how we are committed to Ukraine ( a Neo Nazis dictatorship). I didn't see one WWll veteran in back of him applaud with the crowd. 😢 Russia was our ally in WWll pic.twitter.com/XlWqiqyRzL

"Can't we just honor the veterans?" asked X user @Brooklyn__Girl.
Biden marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day on Thursday by saying "we will not walk away" from the defense of Ukraine and allow Russia to threaten more of Europe.

Why can't he just honor the veterans?
Watching Normandy and can't help pondering how frightened these now old men must have been -- scaling the cliffs, enduring the bloodshed and caring for each other under fire. Our Canadians boys honoured, too.

Hard to watch Biden participating in one of the few authentic and…
What strikes me is the flagrant hypocrisy of European and NA leaders who are exploiting Normandy for personal gain, remembering our war heroes who died fighting Nazism and fascism while funding Zionism in Israel and Nazism in Ukraine, both fascist ideologies. It's hard to watch.
