Addressing a concerned nation and anxious world, President Joe Biden vowed in his first State of the Union address Wednesday AEDT to check Russian aggression in Ukraine, tame soaring US inflation at home and deal with the fading but still dangerous coronavirus.
“Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos,” Biden said. “They keep moving. And, the costs and threats to America and the world keep rising.” Biden was outlining plans to address inflation by reinvesting in American manufacturing capacity, speeding supply chains and reducing the burden of childcare and eldercare on workers.
But it has taken on new significance with last week’s Russian invasion of Ukraine and nuclear saber-rattling by Putin.
