  • In early March 2022, brief video clips went viral that appeared to show U.S. President Joe Biden mistaking Ukraine for Russia during an interview, saying, How do we get to the place where, you know, Putin decides he's gonna just invade Russia? Nothing like this has happened since World War II. The remarks that referenced Russian President Vladimir Putin were posted following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which began in late February. On March 4, Biden's answer was tweeted on the @PapiTrumpo Twitter account. The video showed only 10 seconds from the interview with Biden. On March 5, the tweet from @PapiTrumpo was amplified when a Facebook user created a screen capture of the Twitter post with the video playing. As of March 16, the repost on Facebook had been viewed nearly 2 million times, and had received more than 125,000 shares. While it was true that Biden did say the words, Putin decides he's gonna just invade Russia, there was a reason why the viral videos were so short. In the very next sentence after these remarks, Biden corrected himself, saying, I mean, Russia's going to invade Ukraine. He also properly mentioned the situation in Ukraine just two sentences prior to the portion that appeared in the clips. Biden was interviewed by historian Heather Cox Richardson on Feb. 25, right after Russia began invading Ukraine. She posted the full interview on her YouTube channel on March 4. The part from the viral videos begins at the 18:36 mark. The full question and answer with the remark about Putin decides he's gonna just invade Russia can be watched from 15:16-20:19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6Ks3BnFymQ&t=916sWe transcribed the entire question and answer. The relevant portion is bolded below: In sum, yes, Biden said the words, Putin decides he's gonna just invade Russia. However, he quickly corrected himself and also properly mentioned Ukraine just two sentences prior to the portion that appeared in videos. The correction and the prior Ukraine mention were both omitted from the trimmed viral clips that were posted to social media. (en)
