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.
Joe was taken out of context. He wanted regime change in the US.
Biden said it out loud because he’s senile.
Whether it’s the Brandon plan is hard to say.
Joe Biden is obviously NOT in charge of his country’s foreign policy. Others, hidden in the background, are calling the shots.
He gets cranky when his diaper is wet.
Biden must go before he starts a nuclear war.
We’re the ones that need a regime change.
Hard to believe.
Shows Biden admin has no desire to negotiate with Putin for peace in Ukraine.
A reckless and stupid thing to say. Even sfgate is throwing old Joe under the bus.
You are so correct.
“We’re the ones that need a regime change.”
“For God’s sake this man cannot remain in power” applies to
Putin
Xi
Trudeau
Biden
What do you expect from a retard that threatens his own people with nukes? 🤪
“For one thing, they played right into the false Kremlin narrative of an aggressive Nato, hell-bent on Russia’s destruction.”
Who said the narrative is false. Cold war warriors just went underground for awhile until the globalist project got more momentum. These kooks have an irrational, pathological view of Russians as a people, irrespective of Russian politics. Russia could be a symbol of the the cleanest parliamentary democracy in the world (it isn’t) but that still wouldn’t please the fruit and nutz in the CIA and other hotbeds of warmonger heaven
Really sad that we would even accept Harris stepping up, but at least I do not think she would start a nuclear war. And if that's the new presidential standard...God help us.
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.
That’s the good news. The bad news is if he’s “let go”, we get Harris.
Putin's Russia supports Christianity, scorns paganism, does not tolerate transsexuals, or men competing in women's' sports leagues. Putin's Russia has supported the rebuilding of churches and attacks islamism.
Putin's Russia has a low flat tax which rewards productivity. Biden's America is a dystopian fiefdom ruled by freaks, spirit soup eaters, communists, and weirdos in general. It is a regime which punishes the productive, rewards layabouts, boozers, and druggies and communists.
“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.
My standard is even lower. She knows her name and what day it is.
Here is the upside. If she is advanced to president she will not be able to vote as a tie breaker. Who is Hairass going to be able to get through the Senate? a Demonrat from a Republican state. Hello VP Manchin, who is replaced by a Republican
The evil Russians made Joe Dementia say it. At about the same time they were cooking up the “Trump Russian collision“ story with Hillary Clinton.
Chuckle.
The wrong President for times like these. Correction: no time would be suitable for such a goofball.
