On Friday President Biden’s may have just started a possible Cold War 2 with just 9 words. He basically called for regime change in Russia. Of course the White House had to “clarify” those words.
“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”
Quote from White House official to Fox News Digital
How can one not take those words to mean regime change? Seriously what the hell is this administration thinking. Sorry there is NO way to spin this statement. To think, all the Democrats and liberals thought Trump would get us into a war. Well look who is on the path to do just that. Really sad that everything Democrats and the liberal base said Trump would do is now being done by Biden and the Democrats.
President Biden’s 9 words have effectively changed geopolitical landscape. While speaking in Poland to a group of Ukrainian refugees President Biden apparently went off script (yet again) and ended the speech with 9 words that has caused the world to hold its breath.
“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power”
President Biden’s parting words from speech given in Warsaw, Poland
What will be the fallout
To use this language against Russian President Putin is a dangerous escalation. Putin will see this as a direct threat and may take action in some form or fashion. Russia is already fearing western expansion, this just adds fuel to the fire. In addition the President has already called Vladimir Putin a “War Criminal” and a “butcher”. Add all these attacks on Putin and you may have created a new Cold War if that does not already exist.
Putin is from the old Soviet Regime filled with paranoia. He is likely not going to sit by while Biden threatens his power. Even if the remarks from Biden were “taken out of context” which the Biden staff likes to use as an excuse, the damage is done and he will not be able to walk those words back.
I can only imagine what other world leaders thought about those 9 words. Are they shaking their heads in disbelief? It just goes to show that President Biden in his 47yrs of being in political office still cannot get his foreign policy game together. He just continues to fail at every opportunity which is becoming more dangerous every time he speaks. Again I think a possible Cold War 2 with just 9 words has begun and it’s to late to turn it around.
