The president’s speech was also a reminder that time is not on the side of the civilized world.
“We all need to do more,” Biden said of the SDGs due to be met by 2030 but which are seriously off track.
We have to stand up to this naked aggression today and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow,” Biden said.
As the president was speaking, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky could be seen listening intently and applauded at the pledge of support.
Leveraging the absence of other world leaders to his advantage seems to be working for Biden.
