The moment he said it I thought, “Did the White House deliberate over this and conclude that calling for regime change was advisable? Or did Biden ad lib a line this fraught with danger?”
We already have an answer.
If you think he’s been too weak in his response to Russia, here’s some good news, I guess. It doesn’t get any tougher (rhetorically) than ending a speech in Warsaw by calling for Putin to be deposed.
His speech today was shot through with bravado (“Don’t even think about moving on one single inch of NATO territory!”) but the line about Putin not remaining in power is “a quote that may be referenced for years to come,” as the Times delicately put it.
Threatening Putin personally is such a bad idea that I’ve wondered if the White House should explicitly say that we’re *not* seeking regime change in Russia. Putin wants Russians to believe that Ukrainian statehood is some sort of NATO plot against their country; clarifying that we have no designs on toppling Russia’s government would make it harder for him to frame his war as self-defense. Instead, Biden just ratified his theory: For America, it seems, the endgame isn’t an independent Ukraine but the decapitation of Russia’s government. The whole premise of the conflict, that NATO is a defensive alliance whose members pose no threat to Moscow, has been undermined.

Between the two of them, it ain’t Putin that needs to be removed.
I’m thinking the same about Biden.
The problem with the Biden administration provoking and fanning WW3 is… very simply… We’ll be stuck with the Biden administration in charge of defending USA

Less than 20% of Russians agree with Biden. Good luck convincing the 80+ percent
Un-f’n-believable !
But then again, some kind of idiocy along these lines should have been expected.
Let’s hope Putin has more sense the low-life clown/crew squatting @ 1600 . . .
This is pretty minor compared to everything he said today, but what’s up with that hat Biden had on earlier? Was that supposed to be a re-design of the American flag, or what? It looks stupid.
They sent Joe to Europe to fix Kamala’s mess and shore up his poor approval ratings…Major Fail.
From what I understand, Russians kinda like Putin.
I know, in the crowd Joe runs (hobbles) with ‘what the people want’ doesn’t add up to dry poop.
“I want my war,” he said, stamping his tiny feet. “This will be my legacy as a War President, it’ll make me a Great, right up their with whatshisname. A few nukes on Putin’s head will put a fine point on it,” he said in widely published spea ...

Put them in a room together, give each a loaded gun, lock the door, and hope for a tie.
Even the Chinese are having problems with Biden. Apparently his promises to them haven’t been fulfilled.
A bit ironic for Biden to rave on about a war for democracy, then insist that he gets to decide who can be Russia’s leader. What if the Russian people — for good reasons or ill —want Putin to remain? If you believe in democracy, the Russians get to choose a bad government if they want, and live with the consequences. If Biden had any sense, which he doesn’t, he’d be saying that if the Russian people selected a government that unwound the war, etc. there might be a path for better relations in the future. Instead the idiot acts like a dictator and feeds reaction.
the vegetable Biden will be deposed long before Putin is
Putin has a much better chance of being Russian President in three years than Biden does of being our President.
That is what’s all about. Ukraine has been used a personal piggy bank for the Bidens, Clintons, Soros and even Romney’s son and John Kerry’s stepson.
