In October 2018 former vice president Joe Biden was being touted as a potential Democratic challenger to President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, while Biden himself said he was not running for president at this point. Nonetheless, Biden traveled to London that month to deliver a talk on foreign policy at an event titled A Vision for the Future of the Transatlantic Relationship. During that talk, the former VP offered some harsh words about Russian and Russian president Vladimir Putin, a dialog which the junk news site Your News Wire falsely represented with a headline and lead proclaiming that Biden asserted Putin Wants to Destroy the New World Order: Biden said nothing in his talk about a New World Order (i.e., a conspiracy theory holding that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government which will replace sovereign nation-states), much less anything about Putin's desire to destroy that non-existent entity. What Biden actually expressed in his Chatham House talk was a warning that the Russian president sought the dissolution of NATO and the European Union in order to destabilize and weaken a unified, democratic west: A video of former vice president Biden's talk can be viewed here.
