Biden created a theme song for his Presidency

When Joe Biden became U.S. President, he used his very first press conference to enunciate a theme that he wanted to set for his presidency.

“It is clear, absolutely clear,” Biden stressed, “that this is a battle between the utility of democracies in the 21st century and autocracies.” He of course singled out Russia for his wrath: “If you notice, you don’t have Russia talking about communism anymore. It’s about an autocracy.”

In his first speech to Congress, Biden returned to this theme, inveighing against what he called “America’s adversaries, the autocrats of the world”.

In March of 2022, speaking at a summit in Warsaw to show the West’s “support for the people of Ukraine”, Biden again laid out his thematic epic struggle. In describing Europe of the post-Soviet era, he declared:
