“For God’s sake,” he said, “this man cannot remain in power.”

This should not be viewed as a gaffe. Not to be regretted. This is a speech to be proud of - start to finish. Putin did all he could to choose the President of the United States - more than once. For some in our country, that was OK. And stating the obvious is a gaffe? Good grief.

For President Biden to say to the Russian people they are not our enemy and that Putin should not remain in power is a simple statement of fact - one which is consistent with previous statements by Biden and other world leaders: Putin is a murderer. Putin has committed war crimes. Putin continues to slaughter innocent civilians - the elderly and children. He bombs hospitals, schools and shelters with no military presence. He is decimating entire cities. He is about to cause famine across the globe as one of the major producers of wheat can't plant. Many of those that survive will be severely malnourished. And Americans at home will be whining about inflation.

And Putin shouldn't be removed from office? That should have happened long ago. Biden is telling the Russian people the truth about their dictator.

I am beyond weary of the tearing down of Joseph Biden. First he is "too weak and not doing enough". Then he "is too tough" or made a "gaffe". Does anyone disagree with the fact that Putin is a danger to humanity and should be removed from office? Really? This is one man's war. That one man needs to go.

No, this was not a gaffe. This was a message to the Russian people about what their dictator is doing and why they need to find a new leader. Sounds smart to me. Biden speaks the truth. Be proud.

Thx, eloquent. I believe it was strategic

Who in America has the experience to understand our enemies better than Biden? Fiona Hill perhaps? I’m guessing she’s quietly doing a slow hand clap

Bill, thank you!! Agree with your words 100%. “I’m tired of the press/media shredding Biden. It’s exhausting.”

I am. And, he did indeed speak for the Russian people.

Thank you Bill, your writing is spot on. I agree with all you wrote and share your view on Biden’s speech along with your opinion of his supposed gaffe. I too am sick of the constant tear-down of everything said or done by Biden. We should all be thanking our lucky stars that it’s Biden in the White House at this time, and not the previous piece of s**t.
