JOE Biden confused Syria with Libya three times in his latest gaffe as he blundered during a press conference at the end of the G7 summit.
The president was addressing how the US and Russia can provide aid to the war-torn country ahead of his meeting with Vladimir Putin this week.

Biden said Washington and Moscow could work together in providing aid to Libya.
He then commented that Russia had "bitten off more than it can chew" following intervention in Syria - another country plagued that has been plagued by civil war.
Biden said: "I’m hopeful that we can find an accommodation where we can save the lives of people in, for example, Libya."
White House aides later cleared the record - saying Biden was supposed to say Syria instead of Libya.
Several people realized Biden's latest blunder and took to Twitter to share their amusement.
One said: “Leader of the free world right there… and I have no idea what’s he’s mumbling about.”
Another commented: “Our enemies are watching.”
A third said: "Biden is the guy that lost his glasses and can’t find them even though they are on top of his head."
One person posted a hilarious meme showing a bowl of alphabet spaghetti with the caption: "Joe Biden has released a statement".
But, some Twitter users showed sympathy to the gaffe-prone president as they mocked speeches made by former president Donald Trump.
One claimed Trump's speeches were written by "predictive text", while another said "at least no one was laughing at Biden" in a jibe at Trump's infamous "Rocket Man" speech.
The Republican claimed North Korean despot Kim-Jong Un was on a "suicide mission" in a tirade that left UN delegates in stitches.
Biden was speaking at a press conference in Newquay, UK following the conclusion of the G7 summit.
The summit came days before the president is due to meet Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Geneva, Switzerland.
Biden will not hold a joint press conference following talks as he’s not interested in getting into a “contest”.
The White House is reportedly reluctant to grant Putin yet another prominent platform and place to put Biden at the mercy of comments made by his Russian counterpart.
Biden told reporters: "This is not a contest about who can do better in front of a press conference or try to embarrass each other."
The president said the US is "not looking for conflict" with Russia as the two countries try to normalize relations.
Biden has made several gaffes since he was inaugurated in January.
He told American troops stationed at RAF Mildenhall last week that he kept “forgetting he's president”.
After running on stage, Biden began his speech by proclaiming "When I was 14..." before he became distracted by the standing crowd.
He gestured the large crowd to sit back down by saying "at ease" before joking "I keep forgetting I'm president".
In another gaffe, the 78-year-old referred to the RAF as the RFA.
He blundered: "These partnerships have hardened and have been hardened in the fire of war and generations of Americans and service members who fought them. Like those RFA pilots."
The president claimed in several speeches that US hospital beds will be overwhelmed by Americans suffering from Alzheimer's in two decades' time as he pushed for further research into the disease.
Speaking on a visit to a cancer hospital in March, he said: “If we don’t do something, for example about Alzheimer’s, every single bed in American hospitals today will be occupied by someone with Alzheimer’s within 20 years.”
Fact-checkers for the Washington Post revealed there is no basis for the claims.
Biden also unintentionally told Americans earning less than $400,000 that they would not have to pay any taxes while outlining his spending plans in Virginia.
He was supposed to say that Americans earning less than $400,000 per year will not see a tax hike to fund the $4.1trillion infrastructure projects.
Biden said: "The reason I'm bothering to do this (raise taxes) is I keep hearing out in the press 'Biden is going to raise your taxes'.
"Anybody making less than $400,000 a year will not pay a single penny in taxes."
Senator Ted Cruz, of Texas, was quick to spot Biden's blunder as he tweeted: "Dems accidentally call for abolishing income tax for those making under $400k. I accept."
And in March, Biden was caught tripping over the steps of Air Force One in an embarrassing blunder.
“Biden will not hold a joint press conference following talks as he’s not interested in getting into a “contest”.
The White House is reportedly reluctant to grant Putin yet another prominent platform and place to put Biden at the mercy of comments made by his Russian counterpart.

Wow.
Syria and Libya are kind of the same thing, and if a person is a little dyslectic, the names are almost identical. They were both badly scrambled back during the Obama-Biden regime, so the confusion is understandable. Unforgivable, but understandable.
A google search for
biden g7 confuses libya syria
reveals that NO mainstream US news outlets are reporting on it. Deliberate and intentional suppression of the facts.
The other leaders at the G7 summit treated Biden like a senile idiot - who’s about to give away lots of money.
That’s because he IS a senile idiot that is about to give away lots of money!..............
And the dutiful presstitutes will report Biden is the fittest, most virile, and beloved president this nation has ever had.

I read a one sentence question about it on Quora (a forum similar to Reddit for open questions and topics), but nothing from anybody else. This piece, posted by RedBadger, is the first with any details.
But we had five years and an impeachment for incessant "Russia, Russia, Russia collusion" - an invented story pushed by the democrat party's massed media.
It is NOT MONEY. It is ‘credit’ which we the people re on the hook for regardless.

It should be the POTUS business to know the difference. Even an ability to point out each country on an unmarked map. I doubt that I could point out all the countries but I’m not POTUS either.
