Joe Biden backs Polish prez Andrzej Duda after alleged Russian attack, Internet says ‘don’t escalate this’

Biden spoke to Polish President Andrzej Duda to offer support and to remain in 'close touch to determine appropriate next steps as the investigation proceeds'

WASHINGTON, DC: Poland reportedly revealed on early Wednesday, November 16, that they were attacked by two Russian-made missiles in the eastern part of the country on Tuesday. The blast killed two people and it officially marked the first time that Russian weapons came down on a NATO country since the invasion of Ukraine. After the tragedy, President Joe Biden spoke to Polish President Andrzej Duda to offer condolences and support and to remain in "close touch to determine appropriate next steps as the investigation proceeds."

The attack forced the country to gather for an emergency meeting and discuss the country's defenses. There were talks of invoking Article 4 of the NATO charter under which members confer when a nation’s territorial integrity or security has been threatened. Biden has been vocal about his anti-Putin stand and this time again, he declared America's support. Biden took to his Twitter to share the news of his recent meet-up and the future actions that the country is planning in support of Poland. He tweeted, "I spoke with President Andrzej Duda of Poland to express my deep condolences for the loss of life in Eastern Poland and offer our full support for Poland's investigation of the explosion. We will remain in close touch to determine appropriate next steps as it proceeds." The support, however, has generated mixed reactions from citizens.

One social media user spoke in favor of Biden and tweeted, "It's refreshing, President Biden respecting us enough for a safe amount of transparency. He & his team have been through nonstop events. Since they let them selves in the front door."

Another user tweeted, "TY Mr President for your leadership and measured response. This is very scary to a whole lot of people. #StandWithUkraine️." 

One user wrote, "Pres. Biden’s experience is exactly what we need at this difficult time in history. He shares many of the same virtues as Harry S Truman. He’s been through some very tragic situations in his own personal life, which gives him compassion and understanding for others. I like Biden."

Another user tweeted, "I feel calm knowing Biden is our President. He is amazing at the schedule he juggles every day." One said, "Unfortunately this will likely lead to an escalation, but Russias crimes needs checked."

Meanwhile, one user trolled Biden for offering money for the investigation, hinting it could be a scam, "How much will the investigation cost? I think $1T should suffice. But only $1B to Poland I’m sure the rest will somehow get back to dems fundraising campaigns."

Another user criticized Biden and said, "How about investigating the scamming at Social security Administration and HRA etc ,sweep your own back yard first."

One said, "We don't care." Another user said, "I speak for everyone when I say we all want Trump back." One social media user tweeted, "Pls don’t escalate this."
