Here is what other presidents have boldly said in Europe to seize the moment, make history and endear themselves to the free world.
President Kennedy, 1963: “Ich bin ein Berliner!”
President Reagan, 1987: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
President Biden, 2024; what I wish President Biden had said in Europe:
“There is only one man who could stop the war in Ukraine tomorrow. Vladimir Putin.
The United States of America, and all the NATO nations and all the nations of a peace-loving freedom-loving world, together call out to Vladimir Putin:
Mr. Putin, stop this war!
Leave Ukraine now!
You can’t have it.
You can’t take it.
You don’t belong there.
Mr. Putin, get out of Ukraine!”
