"For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” President Biden said of Vladimir Putin in March, a month after Russia’s second unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, in remarks the Washington Post called “the most defiant and aggressive speech about Russia by an American president since Ronald Reagan.” Biden’s staff, however, immediately backpedaled, saying, “the president’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia or regime change.” Later, Biden himself dutifully resiled from regime change.

Outsiders can assist in many ways, including augmenting dissidents’ communications internally and with their diaspora, and significantly enhanced programs to transmit information into Russia (complicated by the long decline in US information-statecraft capabilities). Financial support, especially given Russian economic conditions, and not necessarily in large amounts, can also be critical. What Washington says publicly about regime-change should be concerted with the dissidents and other foreign allies. Keeping our actions covert may be impossible, but there is likely no need to ballyhoo them.

We’ve already had far too many Democrats already lying non-stop about Russian collusion.
If the Rooskis were still commies the DNC would love and serve them the way they do the ChiComs.
Well yes they did. Is this history tidbits time?
Putin is NOT attacking the USA.
Biden IS attacking at least half of the American people.
What country needs regime change more desperately?
I wonder if this has been thought through by those advocating Putin’s overthrow.
Suppose the warmonger neocons are granted their fondest wish.
The question then comes up, who will replace Putin?
Or, more importantly, who will decide Putin’s replacement?
The phrase comes to mind: “Be careful what you wish for”.
Putin’s successor might make him look pretty tame in comparison.
Another phrase comes to mind: “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t”.
People here seem to think that regime change in Russia means we'll get a Biden lickspittle in the Kremlin who will give Hunter a cushy do-nothing job in the Russian gas industry.
In truth, Russia will replace Putin with a hardliner who will Grozny-fy Ukraine.
Putin has murdered more Russian speakers than any Kremlin leader since Stalin. The idea he is a moderate is hilarious gaslighting.
Putin would have already Grozny’d Ukraine if he could have. He can’t because he’s weak and Russia is a Potemkin country.
“I’d much rather get rid of Biden and the Democrats.”
Amen!!!
Of course, there are many posting on FR that will call you “Putin’s puppet” (or worse) for saying that.
I thought we gave up on regime-change before 9/11/01?
Now we are back to it again?
Morons.
The first sentence also applies to Bidet.
Doesn't that depend on who stands to his right??

The assumption made, without consideration, is the replacement will be better.
Seems like much the same “logical” reasoning was employed by the MSM to remove Trump above and beyond the pure election theft). There were incessant articles by the MSM about Trump being unhinged, unfit, vulgar, crude; that he would trigger a world war, that he’d launch nukes on his own, etc. Anyone but Trump would be better.
Biden, conversely was portrayed as calming, statesmanlike, seasoned (more like dry-rot, it turns out), trusted. The press gushed that “the adults were back in charge” when he was sworn in.
Putin is anti NWO, therefore he must be removed according to the NWO servant news and the NWO heads of state.
It seems a good wager that the "smarter than us" crowd which asserts it knows best for us isn't smarter or knows best.
The meddling of the Obama-Biden-Harris regime in its third term has shown itself at war with us peaceable "domestic terrorists" and rather average "extremists."
Sociopaths care not what we might think of them; neither do they think through all the ramifications of their "I want."
I agree with your assessment.
John Bolton is a psychopath. One of Trump’s worst decisions. Not to be repeated.
The fact is that Russia would not have engaged in their Ukrainian invasion if it were not for China having their back. With the West effectively shutting down trade with Russia, the ability of China, along with India, to buy their major exports, oil and natural gas, has financed Putin's invasion. As with North Korea, Putin could be shut down if and when Xi wants to do so.
Russia and China have been working in cooperation for several decades, militarily and economically. Both countries are working in cooperation in Latin America, in supporting Marxist tyrannies in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and are trying to expand in Peru and Brazil. A few weeks ago, a joint Russian-Chinese naval force performed maneuvers off the coast of Alaska. China's Belt and Road Initiative has been expanding throughout the world to tie Asian and African countries into the web of Chinese commerce. Recently, the Central African Republic used Russian mercenaries to suppress anti-government rebels. This nation is a former French colony, but the leadership did not use the French Foreign Legion, but the Russians, thus decoupling from the West decisively.
I detest the globalist hegemony and related subversive ideology like the Green New Deal and globohomo. That being said, the opposition of China, Russia, and Iran, and their Marxist and radical Islamic allies, are bent on world dominance as much as the Davos Group and the World Economic Forum and are less blinded by self-destructive ideology.
Ain’t no Russian ever stole a third of my 401K, call me domestic terrorist, and sic the various KGB tentacles onto me.
I didn’t say anything positive about Putin. Really didn’t say anything positive about Russia.
I did say if Russia was still actually communist then the Democrats would love them and serve them.
As tor your “proofs”, well, we still keep the Constitution physically around even though we haven’t lived under it since the 30s.
I would go further to opine of our many monuments in DC that we didn’t need so many monuments to national glory until they had to hide that we weren’t really under lawful governance anymore. But they have multiplied them since.
Russia needs all the monuments it can get too for its own reasons, probably like borrowing mojo from what came before it. Proverbial beggers cannot be choosers.
