Biden ‘Ruined’ NATO Summit with Unforgivable Gaffe, European Officials Say
Daily Fetched ^ | JULY 12, 2024 | Jason Walsh

Joe Biden‘s embarrassing gaffe where he called Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky “President Putin” at the highly anticipated NATO summit, has been slammed by European Officials, who say it undid all their hard work.

As we reported on Friday, Biden made two major blunders, the first referring to Ukrainian President Zelensky as “President Putin” and later calling Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.”

Here’s a recap:

During the speech, Biden falsely claimed that Trump praised Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and wanted to abandon NATO.

Democrats and the media have finally acknowledged Biden’s cognitive decline as pressure mounts for him to step down.

But Biden hit the final nail in the coffin of his campaign by mistaking Zelensky for his arch-enemy.

“It was awful,” one diplomatic source told the Telegraph.

While Biden’s campaign called the gaffe nothing but a “slip-up,'” others were not so forgiving.

“It’s taken the focus away from what has been a great summit for us,” one diplomat said.

“The Americans had put in months of groundwork into preventing another ‘Vilnius moment’,” another official said.

Even Barack Obama is now privately expressing his concerns that Biden cannot defeat Trump, CNN reported.

Obama’s worries are “one of the worst kept secrets in Washington,” the outlet noted.

As we reported on Thursday, Obama likely had a central role in actor George Clooney’s New York op-ed throwing Biden under a bus.

Barack runs the WH so what he says goes.

He thought he did - until he found out Jill had all the info on his gay past. Lot of MAD threats flying around DC these days.

“He BARED his TEETH when the AFP guy asked him a question about that!! Like a JUNKYARD DOG HE BARED HIS TEETH!!”

I also noticed his weird sneer when anyone would start talking to him. Does he now also think he’s Elvis? Is the bizarre sneering and baring his teeth a reaction to the many drugs he’s full of?

Joe Biden piloting the plane, coming in high, hot, blind, dead-stick, wheels up, outta gas, and with the glide angle of a rock. And “Que mala” Harris is his co-pilot.

Arriving on a left wing and no prayer.

What could possibly go wrong?

We, the United States, no longer needs to be involved with NATO...

When the SHTF, those moslem-dominated nations will fold...
The one thing the U.S. does not need to do is defend any more moslem nations from anything...

Z not going to take the cash now?

Depends on what kind of Nazi Z is. If he is a grammar Nazi, he has principles to uphold.

Don't blame Biden.

Blame the cabal that pulls Biden's strings.

Biden January 2022: It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do.

It's not a coincidence that Biden was "in charge" when Russia invaded.

I’m sorry but that gaffe could not possibly ruin their entire effort on the war.

And I want Biden to stay in.

Bingo. He brought on the damn invasion when he ran out of Adghanistan.

Did anyone pick up on his news conference, where this idiot said he never believed in being in Afghanistan.
So he deliberately threw away an important air base near China.

Trump needs to cut off France from NATO and treat them adversaries.

The communists there are more a threat to the USA than anything Putin has going in the Ukraine quagmire. If the French people want 90% taxes without really paying for a military, they’re on their own.

Trump had agreed to get out, but obviously didn’t want to do it like the Biden gang did. I suspect the US State Dept convinced them that keeping Bagram at that moment was too complicated.
