In State of the Union, Biden will look to rally U.S., world against Russian invasion of Ukraine

When he stands before Congress to deliver the State of the Union address, the President will have a chance to further cement a democratic alliance both in the United States and abroad. “It marks that distinction between him and Trump … that America is back on the international scene, as an international leader,” said Barbara Ann Perry, a presidential historian at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs. “This is Biden’s opportunity to draw the world together.”

Russia's nuclear threats: What you need to know

Sechser says Putin may not have thought it all through. "Russia has now played most of its escalatory cards, and doesn't have many tools left for resolving this crisis in its favor. The nuclear alert seems like more an act of frustration than a calculated tactical move," he said in an email. "If the nuclear alert was intended to coerce the United States and Europe into tempering economic sanctions or abandoning Ukraine, it failed. If anything, it has served to further inflame world opinion against Russia," Sechser added.
