US President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "pure thug" while speaking at a St. Patrick's Day event Thursday.

At the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon on Capitol Hill, Biden said Putin is a “murderous dictator, a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine.”

Biden also said Ireland has “stepped up” in the face of Russian aggression against Ukraine. He said the relationship between Ireland and the United States was “taking on an even more intense and cooperative forum than it ever has because of Ireland's neutrality.”

I'm not Irish, but I love how the Irish and Irish-Americans party.

And I'm missing an Irish-American friend who used to throw the best St. Patrick's Day parties...and then ask his friends later if they were there.

OANN just announced they'll be airing Stone's "Ukraine On Fire" tomorrow night.

Shame that Russian- and RW-propaganda network won't be dropped by DirecTV till next month.

YouTube has flagged the documentary, so of course the RWNJs at Rumble welcomed it.

Wondering how long till we see Stone as a regular contributor for OANN and Newsmax and Fox News...



Btw, do NOT confuse Stone's pathetic excuse for a documentary with the excellent 2015 documentary "Winter On Fire," which is on Netflix, and which has been nominated for, and won, awards.

Stone's documentary was a year later and possibly has a title chosen to cause confusion.

"Winter On Fire" -- which I hope everyone will see -- is now available FREE on YouTube, thanks to Netflix:
