Did Biden say that he had sex with his wife Stoltenberg? 

In mid-July, Russian media and Telegram channels distributed a video in which the US president is allegedly stipulated and reports to the NATO Secretary General that he had slept with his wife. We checked the correctness of such publications.

From 9 to 11 July in Washington Passed NATO summit. On July 10, Russian media reported: during one of the events at the Forum, US President Joe Biden, standing on the same stage with the General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, said that Ingrid Schulerud was sleeping with his wife, but then asked his colleague for forgiveness. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" Issued This is a note under the heading “Biden is trying to prove his health at the expense of the wife of Stoltenberg: the general secretary of NATO tensed”, and the publication of the Moscow Komsomolets on this topic called "The elderly Biden surprised the outgoing Secretary General of NATO Stoltenberg." Similar publications (the authors of some of them note that the American leader agreed) appeared on sites Eadaily, News.ru And REGNUM, and thematic plots showed on the air "Channel One" And "Fifth channel". 

Shortly before that, the news spread widely in Telegram - according to TGSTAT, the posts about the alleged statement by Biden scored more than 10 million views. In particular, publications on this subject posted channels "Ax 18+"(2.5 million views at the time of writing this analysis),"Live broadcast"(769 000),"Dmitry Nicotin"(374 000),"Pozdnyakov 3.0"(354,000),"Russia now"(232 000),"Luke fucks"(199 000),"Observer"(187 000),"Putin in Telegram"(187 000),"Truthfulness"(184 000),"Bladsiker 2.0"(184 000),"Sheikh Tamir"(136 000),"Ivan Utenkov | Hug everyonel "(124 000), ATEO Blacked (119,000), "Ukraine.ru"(111 000),"Kirill Fedorov / War History Weapons"(104,000) and"Three heroes and Zelensky addict"(103,000).

A 14-second video is attached to the posts in Telegram. In the video, Biden and Stoltenberg stand against the background of the wall with the symbols of the NATO Washington Summit, and the American leader, as follows from viral posts, says: “I spent the alliance through one of the most important moments in its history. I understand that ... Fucked your wife, I personally asked you to stay in the post yet. Forgive me. " After that, laughter is already heard in the hall. The authors of Telegram channels claim that the US president said the word Fucking (“Fuck”) instead of Talking (“Talk”).

As part of the recent NATO summit, celebrations were held in honor of the 75th anniversary of this military-political bloc. One of the events passed On July 9, in the Mellon Hall, where in 1949 representatives of 12 countries signed an agreement on the establishment of an alliance. Translation recording Available On the official YouTube channel of the White House.

First, Stoltenberg performed with a little speech, then Biden went to the rostrum. After about ten minutes of his speech, the US President invited the Alliance Secretary General to rise on stage. Bayden thanked Stoltenberg for a ten -year work for his post and I handed it He is the highest civilian award of the United States - the presidential medal of freedom. 

In the broadcast on the White House channel, Biden speaks of Stoltenberg's wife at the mark 29:42. Despite long -standing (and aggravated with age) The problem of stuttering, the US president quite clearly says: “Mr. General Secretary, you conducted this alliance through one of the most significant for the future periods of its history. I realize that it is me, how we discussed With your wife (As I Was Talking to Your Wife. - Approx. Ed.), asked you to continue to fulfill your duties. (Bayden pauses, smiles and grins, then puts his hand on the heart.) Sorry ... ”The guests of the celebration begin to laugh here. 

The fact is that Stoltenberg, who became the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance in 2014, planned to leave his post in 2022 and even was previously approved to the post of head of the Norway Bank, but agreed to stay in NATO for a year after the start of a full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and submitting applications for joining the Alliance from Sweden and Finland. Then the Norwegian was about to leave in 2023, but how They wrote The media with reference to sources, countries - members of the military bloc could not agree on the candidate of the successor. As a result, Stoltenberg will put his powers on October 1 of this year - in June of the country of NATO Approved The next Secretary General of the former Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte.

Viral posts in Telegram use a video with the symbols of the American television channel Fox News. On his site there is a published day on July 9 fragment The broadcast of Biden on the NATO summit, the American president, recalling attempts to convince Stoltenberg to stay at work in the Alliance, is quite clearly pronounced by the phrase Was Talking. Similarly it sounds in broadcasts Channel NBC. The same verb is used in stenigram The White House website, which at the same time reflects Biden's reservations (in particular, in his speech, he called Ukraine the word URAINE instead of Ukraine).

How Notes The Insider, initially the news of the recognition of the US president in intimate relations with the wife of the Secretary General of NATO diverged among the supporters of Donald Trump. In particular, the Russian Channel One showed a video on its air, which is a politician from Ohio Jay R. Majevski Published in Tiktok. Video, Placed On the evening of July 9, by American time (July 10 at 3:31 am Moskovsky), at the time of writing this analysis, almost 11 million views gained.

Thus, there is no reason to believe that Biden during the NATO summit declared in the presence of Stoltenberg that he had sex with his wife. The first about the piquant reservation of the US President began to talk about the supporters of his opponent in the upcoming elections. Their statement, subsequently picked up by the Russian media and Telegram channels, is based on the specific diction of the American leader, possible distortions of the sound path and (more likely) malicious manipulation.
