President Joe Biden held a press conference on Thursday to inform the American people about what the administration is doing in response to Russia’s “unprovoked and unjustified”<\/em> invasion of Ukraine (full video below)<\/em>. He revealed that the United States and it allies would immediately impose a set of severe economic sanctions to punish Putin’s brutal aggression. “Putin chose this war,”<\/em> Biden said. “And now he and his country will bear the consequences.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Ordinarily, at times like these, the nation comes together to present a united front against such militaristic assaults on innocent and peaceful allies. However, Donald Trump’s Republican Party is already staking out a position that has been blatantly pro-Putin, as Trump has been doing himself<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So leave it to Fox News to contrive a question for Biden that frames the conflict in a decidedly warped perspective. When Biden called on Fox’s Peter Doocy, he asked the President the following question:<\/p>\n

“Did you underestimate Putin and would you still describe him the way that you did in the summer, as a \u2018worthy adversary\u2019?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With questions like this, can anyone fault Biden for having muttered under his breath last month that Doocy was “a stupid son of a bitch<\/a><\/strong>“<\/em>? Someone needs to tell Doocy that his own question contradicts his biased premise. If Putin was described as “a worthy adversary,”<\/em> then, by definition, he wasn’t underestimated. And that was the essence of Biden’s reply:<\/p>\n

“I made it clear he was an adversary and I said that he was worthy. I didn’t underestimate him. … You heard the speech he made, almost an hour’s worth of speech as to why he was going into Ukraine. He has much larger ambitions than Ukraine. He wants to, in fact, reestablish the former Soviet Union. That is what this is about. And I think his ambitions are completely contrary to the place where the rest of the world has arrived.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
