A brief timeline - starting with a speech a few days ago.
President Joe Biden’s upcoming address in Normandy, France, to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day on June 6 will focus on the threat of Russia invading Europe, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday.
Jake Sullivan: Biden’s D-Day Address to Focus on Russia
Sullivan, a key player in the “Russia collusion” hoax, previewed the president’s speech in a press gaggle aboard Air Force One.
He said that Biden’s address would focus on drawing lessons from history to apply to threats today.
Past presidential addresses at D-Day commemorations have tended to avoid attacking Russia or the Soviet Union — even at the height of the Cold War — due to the fact that the USSR helped defeat Nazi Germany. . . By the time the Allies landed on the beaches of France in 1944, the Soviets had lost millions of citizens fighting to repel the Nazi invasion.

Here is what President Ronald Reagan said in 1984, in what is considered one of the best orations in U.S. history:
It’s fitting to remember here the great losses also suffered by the Russian people during World War II: 20 million perished, a terrible price that testifies to all the world the necessity of ending war.- I tell you from my heart that we in the United States do not want war.
- We want to wipe from the face of the Earth the terrible weapons that man now has in his hands.
- And I tell you, we are ready to seize that beachhead.
- We look for some sign from the Soviet Union that they are willing to move forward, that they share our desire and love for peace, and that they will give up the ways of conquest.
- There must be a changing there that will allow us to turn our hope into action.
We will pray forever that some day that changing will come. But for now, particularly today, it is good and fitting to renew our commitment to each other, to our freedom, and to the alliance that protects it. . .
