Introduction – March 26, 2022

The Whitehouse has been quick to clarify that President Biden was not calling for regime change in Moscow during his Warsaw speech. This is what happens however, when you install a senile old man in the White House; because he’s not fully compos mentis he misses vital points or veers of at a tangent.

In anyone else it wouldn’t matter but for the president of the United States a slight misunderstanding can push the world closer to a catastrophic war. Particularly in the sort of situation we are now in with the current face-off with Russia.

The world is at a critical juncture and it requires cool heads that fully grasp the dangers we face. Not someone who is prone to lapses of judgement and misunderstanding due to old age.

So we suggest that the speech Biden delivered in Warsaw, written by one of his speechwriters no doubt, applied more to the U.S. president than it does to President Putin. Ed.

For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power’: Biden says Putin should no longer be leader of Russia in fiery speech in Poland – but the White House is forced to walk back his comments and insist he’s NOT calling for regime change

  • Biden went after Putin in emotional address in Warsaw
  • ‘For god’s sake this man cannot remain in power,’ he said of Putin 
  • He also warned Putin not to take his ambitions outside of Ukraine
  • ‘Don’t even think about moving on one single inch of NATO territory. We have sacred obligations,’ Biden said
  • White House quickly cleaned up Biden’s remark
  • ‘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,’ a White House official said 
  • Putin will still see it as a threat 
  • Earlier Biden called Putin a butcher after he visited with Ukraine refugees
  • ‘He’s a butcher,’ Biden said when asked what he thought of Putin after what he has done to the people he was meeting.
  • Biden spent nearly an hour meeting with refugees, including women and children, who have fled Ukraine
  • Poland has taken on bulk of refugees, nearly 2 million 
  • His comment came as Russia bombed Lviv, a city in western Ukraine around 245 miles from the border with Poland

President Joe Biden went directly after Vladimir Putin in an emotional speech on Saturday, where he said the Russian president ‘cannot remain in power’ and warned if Putin’s ambitions went unchecked it could lead to decades of war in Europe.

‘For god’s sake this man cannot remain in power,’ he said of Putin, describing the Russian president as having a ‘craving for absolute power and control.’

The Kremlin reacted furiously at the quote and the White House moved quickly to clear it up, saying Biden was not calling for a regime change in Moscow.

‘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,’ a White House official said.

The Biden administration has taken care to not call for a regime change in Russia, knowing Putin would see it as an escalation.

‘This is not to be decided by Mr. Biden,’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response. ‘It should only be a choice of the people of the Russian Federation.’

Biden’s remarks came after he made an emotional visit to some of the more than 3 million Ukrainians who have been evacuated their war-torn country and as Russia rained bombs down on the Ukrainian town of Lviv, just a few hundred miles away from Biden’s location in Warsaw.

In his fiery speech, Biden drew a stark line between democracy and oppression, repeatedly going after Putin and accusing the Russian president of dishonesty.

Speaking outdoors in the cobbled courtyard of the Royal Castle in Warsaw, which was lit with the colors of Poland and Ukraine, Biden accused Putin of ‘using brute force and disinformation’ to rule.

‘It’s nothing less than a direct challenges to the rules-based system of international order,’ Biden said.

Biden also took a cue from Arnold Schwarzenegger – who released a video message to Russians that went viral – and spoke directly to the Russian people.

‘I’m telling you the truth. This war is not worthy of you the Russian people,’ he said. ‘Putin can and must end this war. The American people will stand with you and the brave citizens of Ukraine that want peace.’

And he warned Putin’s aggression could bring ‘decades of war’ to Europe.

‘It’s nothing less than a direct challenge for the order established since the World War II and it threatens to return to decades of war that ravage Europe before the international rule-based order was put in place. We cannot go back to that,’ Biden said.

Comment – March 26, 2022

The above report pointedly ignores one crucial fact. Over the past few decades NATO has slowly advanced eastwards. This is in breach of an an earlier reported agreement between the Soviet Union and the West.

According to Robert Bridge:

The date February 9, 1990 will be forever remembered among historians as a ‘day of infamy’ as far as NATO-Russia relations are concerned. That was the date when U.S. Secretary of State James Baker famously assured Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, during glasnost-era talks on German unification that the Western military bloc would not advance “one inch eastward” towards Russia’s borders.

Since then of course, NATO has been steadily advancing eastwards in defiance of U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s assurances. So the currant crisis in Ukraine is as much the West’s creation as Putin’s.

Is it any wonder that Russia felt compelled to secure its western border regions by seizing the Donbass region in Ukraine?
