US President Joe Biden, during a visit to one of the factories that produce Javelin anti-tank missiles for Ukraine, declared that “history shows that if you don’t confront dictators, they keep coming” — referencing the war. in Ukraine and to Vladimir Putin, Russian president.
Biden thanked the workers at the Alabama plant and visited the plants that produce the Javelin. According to him, the US alone has already sent more than 5,000 of this equipment to Ukraine, an even higher number when considering the arsenal also sent by allies.
“The US is leading our allies to ensure that Ukrainians have weapons and defense capabilities against Putin’s brutal war. A lot of war crimes are being committed.”
“You change people’s lives. We built weapons and equipment that helped secure sovereignty and freedom in Europe years ago. It is what happens again today”, he said when referring to the period of the Second World War.
“You are making it possible for the Ukrainians to defend themselves, preventing a Third World War if we sent American soldiers to fight Russian soldiers,” he added.
In addition to Putin, another world leader cited by Biden was Xi Jinping, president of China. The American highlighted Jinping’s speeches about democratic regimes – which, for the Chinese, cannot be sustained in the models proposed by the West. “If that happens, the whole world will change,” he said.
Biden also said the US is intent on becoming the world’s biggest semiconductor producer again, and lobbied the US Congress to pass what he called the “Chip Act”, which aims to innovate in the production of the equipment, too ” essential for the production of defense equipment”, he pointed out.
“We modernized [os semicondutores], we did more than everyone else. We stopped investing in ourselves, but now we are back in the game to ensure that we are the leading semiconductor producers,” he said.
