Et wasn’t the first time Joe Biden deviated from his manuscript. When the American President, in his speech in the courtyard of the Royal Castle in Warsaw, reported on his encounter with Ukrainian refugees in the National Stadium in the Polish capital, he seemed agitated: a little girl asked him if she would see her father and brother again. At such moments, it is often said, Biden’s employees sometimes hold their breath. When something moves the president, his tongue sometimes loosens.
At the end of the speech it actually happened: A dictator, Biden said in front of the thousand invited guests, will never be able to extinguish a people’s love for freedom. Brutality will never crush the will to be free. Russia will not be able to defeat Ukraine because the people will refuse to live in hopelessness and darkness. There will be another, brighter future, based on democracy and freedom. Then the sentence that was not in the speech script: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
