Biden bans Russian aircraft from US airspace
US President Joe Biden has delivered his address at the State of the Union declaring that America will ban all Russian aircraft from its airspace effective immediately
Speaking from the House Chamber, President Biden labeled Russian President Vladimir Putin as a ‘dictator’ – stating that nations around the world will continue to punish the Kremlin for its aggression on Ukraine.
“A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world… in the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment”
Biden said,
The United States will also seize the luxury items of Russian oligarchs, including their yachts, luxury apartments and private jets, the President announced – as he and his government continues to impose sanctions on Moscow.
“When the history of this era is written, Putin’s war in Ukraine would have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger”
Biden again stated that the US military will not ‘not engage in the conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine’ – but that’s something the President has been criticised for by some on social media.
No forces from America will join the conflict unless Russia invades a NATO country
The speech was President Biden’s first State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress at the United States Capitol.
He announced a range of new government actions to not only support Ukraine during the invasion by Russia.
Biden also touched on the American economy – including jobs, infrastructure and management of the COVID pandemic, stating his administration will continue to ”get America back to work”

U.S. and Israel strike Iran, escalating war fears and risking wider regional conflict for the second time in eight months
– U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran amid fears of a broader regional conflict.
– Iranian officials warn that attacks could lead to full-scale war as they prepare for retaliation.
The U.S. also carried out strikes as part of the operation, according to a U.S. official.
The military operation followed a month of U.S. military buildup, ignited by President Trump’s commitment to support Iranian protesters who demonstrated against the regime in January.
The President consistently warned Iran could face military action if it continued its nuclear program. Vice President JD Vance stated that Iran’s responses in two negotiation rounds failed to meet U.S. expectations.
Escalating Tensions
Iranian officials cautioned that any attack would provoke retaliation, warning that even minor strikes could escalate into a full-scale regional war.
The nation has prepared for conflict by mobilising its forces, reinforcing its nuclear facilities, decentralising decision-making, and tightening internal security measures.
