Biden says US won't try to oust Putin, months after saying he 'cannot remain in power'

President Biden says the U.S. will not push for the ouster of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, despite saying in March that Putin "cannot remain in power."

Biden made the statement in a Wednesday op-ed in the New York Times, where he laid out what his administration will and will not do in Ukraine. Biden has derided Putin as a war criminal and previously called for his removal as Russia's head of state, but he has now changed his tune.

"We do not seek a war between NATO and Russia," Biden wrote. "As much as I disagree with Mr. Putin, and find his actions an outrage, the United States will not try to bring about his ouster in Moscow."

Why even mention it?? Does he think Putin was shaking in his boots?

The thoughts of senile old men wander.

Biden always was a retard. Now he’s a retard with dementia. Why anyone cares what he has to say is beyond me. Biden is a sock puppet. He is in charge of nothing.

[Sans-Culotte]

The only people who care what this senile old fart says are idiots like Joe & Mika.

[Magnum44]

Clearly Biden doesn't need any aides to help him walking back...

[dforest]

Oh shut up Biden. Just shut that stupid mouth of yours up. You aren’t the POTUS and everyone knows it.

[JonPreston]

Another Biden/Neocon foreign policy disaster coming into view.

[Steely Tom]

Ok, ok, what I'm really sayin', what I meant all along, is that the US won't try to oust Putin, right? That's what I'm sayin'.

All that stuff I said before, about Putin cannot remain in power and all that, I don't know where that came from, ok? I mean, I must have been flyin', you know?

[joshua c]

never mind

so glad the adults are in charge

[JoSixChip]

So, we’re going after Putin?

[AndyJackson]

When you war game what ousting Putin looks like - it's not pretty. It's pretty ugly and China wins all the marbles. The only question is whether anyone realizes that the true enemy who we share with the Russians are the globalist violating Swiss neutrality by using Switzerland as HQs to try to take over the world.

Also, I guess the push to WWIII with Russia isn't gaining a lot of support domestically, it's fracturing NATO, and people are complaining to Biden that inflation, war and energy costs are undermining their domestic base and creating chaos in various parts of Europe.

Also, Putin is showing what it looks like to take over a country on the ground, is doing it systematically and with effect, and it's the kind of bloody war that American won't put up with - and I am guessing much of Western Europe won't either not that they actually have guns to resist.

So by every measure except the advancement of the cause of the WEF, the war in Ukraine is a loser.

His memory is worse than a doll that talks when you pull a string.

His memory is worse than a doll that talks when you pull a string.

At least the doll makes sense.

[Nextrush]

It’s like three years of the Vietnam War is playing out in three months of Ukraine.

Going on offense now being walked back towards a negotiating table it seems.

[pierrem15]

More evidence of government by junta: there's no policy stability and pronouncements seesaw from one direction to another depending on which faction has control of the sock-puppet-in-chief at the moment.

Same thing with the HIMARS delivery which seems to have gone from "no" to "yes" in 48 hours.

[Tench_Coxe]

What changed, I wonder?

I have a suspicion Kissenger's comments at Davos might have penetrated some thick skulls. My interpretaion of his comments were along the lines of:"if you escalate this war, where it leaves no doubt that NATO (read: WEF and the Biden administration are fighting Russia directly, it will result in making our whole house of cards fall".

[Wuli]

The Dims participated in the biggest election scam in American history, putting up a card board cut out of a man, a demented man, to host an administration of Obama & Clinton insiders, who really run his show, no matter what he personally says.
