International Condemnation of Joe Biden
Powerlineblog ^ | March 27, 2022 | John Hinderaker

Joe Biden’s call for regime change in Russia, which likely was a manifestation of his worsening dementia, has caused consternation around the world.

Joe Biden is facing an international backlash from his own allies after calling for regime change in Russia.

Emmanuel Macron led a chorus of disapproval following the US president’s comments, in which he called Vladimir Putin a “butcher” and insisted the Russian premier “cannot remain in power”.

Downing Street said it was for the Russian people to choose their leader, while Mr Biden’s own secretary of state contradicted the president in an attempt to limit the diplomatic fallout.

A senior US diplomat said Mr Biden had “made a dangerous situation more dangerous” and threatened to “extend the scope and duration” of the conflict.

A Downing Street spokesman said that regime change was not a policy being pursued by Boris Johnson and echoed comments made by Nadhim Zahawi earlier.

Rebuking his US counterpart, Mr Macron, the French president, said on Sunday: “I think we must do everything to avoid the situation getting out of hand. I wouldn’t use these kinds of words because I’m still in talks with President Putin.”

In the US, there was a recognition that Mr Biden had made a serious error of judgment.

More from the Telegraph:

Joe Biden’s off-the-cuff comments in Warsaw regarding the future leadership of Russia were a shot in the arm for Vladimir Putin.

For one thing, they played right into the false Kremlin narrative of an aggressive Nato, hell-bent on Russia’s destruction.

The “evidence” of Western plots is currently being rolled out across compliant state-sanctioned media outlets.

The problem is, it is true.

Not the bit about plots – any intelligent consumer of information can see that.

No, the truthful bit is that the US president said the words.

Here is a question: who is in charge of U.S. foreign policy? Our Secretary of State, told of Biden’s call to oust Putin, said “…we do not have a strategy of regime change in Russia or anywhere else.” But isn’t that Joe Biden’s decision? Maybe Biden said it on purpose to announce a change in our policy toward Russia. Why doesn’t anyone seem to be considering that possibility?

It will be interesting to see whether any reporter will ask Biden why he said what he did, whether he meant it, whether he wants to retract it, and so on. Perhaps the press will just pass by in silence, thinking that is the best way to prop up a failing administration.

It is obviously supposed to be the president's decision. However, when Mr. Trump was president, the Deep State routinely ignored his decisions and pursued their own interests (remember all of the different government officials he had to fire?). The Deep State will do exactly the same thing with Diaper Joe, if they disagree with his decisions...

Let me clarify that Joe’s ‘condition’ doesn’t allow him to thide the truth unless it;s written out for him - everytime he blurts something out like he did here it’s atually the truth....not a gaffe.

My sister had a cogniitive issue and would often express private things she would not normally have spurted out - but they were the truth when she did.

“For God’s sake this man cannot remain in power”

Actually the quote was:

“For God’s sake this man cannot remain... power”

The man can’t talk.

Thanks for the correction.

I only read it.

I can’t stand listening to him.

I agree with with that. My mother had dementia and she did that. She wasn’t the President though.

Whatever.

The President was joking with the NPR audio engineers during a soundcheck, he riffed on his own speech, saying,

“My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”

Family was sitting around a campfire and she began sharing how she gives her husband backrubs while she’s naked. Both my sons just snickered and we all chuckled because we knew she would NEVER reveal that were it not for her condition - however her husband did laugh and said it was true. Even after almost 50 yrs of marriage.

i would add Scott Morrison, Australia, and Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand to that list.

Those two are using Covid to turn their countries into science fiction dystopias.

Exactly my experience with a late friend’s dementia: blurting out truths seemingly out of the blue as well as getting angry and lecturing at inappropriate times. All Brandon hallmarks now observed by anyone interested.

Remember when Jill said he wasn’t going to be touching kids and girls anymore?

Joe asserted himself there. Gotta have the girls and Ice Cream.

Yep - they couldn’t lie because the mental capacity for that wasn’t connecting - so they say things unexpected but quite truthful.

Biden said in script - no troops in Ukraine war
then he talks to the tropps (off script) of what it’s going to be when they get there.

Demorats denied their was a stolen election - but Biden stted clearly it was.

Demorats deny they want a Russian Regime change -
But Biden stated it without a doubt.

He cannot go off script because they’re afraid we’ll hear the truth!

Since Joe began his career in public life he’s consistently made outrageous statements and has been excused, enabled and coddled by his colleagues and the press. Now we can add age-related impairment to his normal inability to contain his thoughts. It’s infuriating and frightening that he is the president.

He has gotten much worse in the last few years.

I watched him for the last 40 years, because he showed himself to be corrupt about 1982. I have no reason to believe he became less corrupt, and every reason to believe he has become moreso.

40 years ago, he appeared reasonably intelligent. Not as smart as Reagan, or even as smart as Bill Clinton, but probably as smart as Manchin and smarter than Pelosi. But a man has to be smarter than a woman in politics, these days.

His intellect has greatly declined.

Agreed- his mind has become slow and dull while his temperament has also declined. He snaps at people quite easily- I wonder what it’s like working with him directly.

I think Ron Klain is running the country and doesn’t keep Joe in the loop except superficially.

He really needs to be removed from office. He’s going to say something in his stupor thay will get us bombed, and for no reason other than he’s senile and doesn’t know what’s what.

I want a competency exam and then for him to go. It won’t happen soon, but a girl can dream.
