Biden gaffes

I'm surprised that none of you right-wing folks are posting more about the more recent Biden gaffes. Sure, stress is probably a factor here, but I am someone on the left and starting to feel concerned. The man is approaching 80. I've lost grandparents to dementia, have parents approaching 80, and have seen colleagues decline. The reality is few people maintain their full mental capacities after that age. It was obvious with Reagan, is obvious with Trump, and obvious with Joe Biden. It's sad to watch.

I'm actually expecting Biden to step down sometime in the next 6 months. My guess is the democrat leadership already has a plan.

Was this a gaffe or something he well knew but unintentionally remarked, indicating what we now know… US military in

Ukraine? His words. Off the WH gov site. He was addressing US troops in Poland.

@soar2newhighs Did you miss the public announcements a few weeks back when he said he was sending non-combatant troops in support roles -- logistics, servicing of weaponry we sent, intelligence -- to both the Ukraine and Poland? No secret, or oopsie to acknowledge they are there. As for the statement above, the women, young people standing in front of tanks is an obvious comparison of the Ukrainian citizens to the famous Tiananmen Square protestors, not a reference to U.S. soldiers.

@dancingtongue Must admit I did not know of such a statement but if you can give me a source, I will look it up.
I’ll wait for your source if you would. Thanks.

soar2newhighs

@dancingtongue I did not think his remarks about people in front of tanks was even relevant and no
I don’t think he was alluding to US soldiers doing that.

soar2newhighs

@dancingtongue No need to cite a source. I came across something on why they did what they did.

@dancingtongue I followed up. Yes he/ administration said this would be done.
As a veteran I think this is foolish and dangerous. But you know politicians .,.they know best. They’ll get us all killed. BTW is there an exit date/ strategy should this go south?

@soar2newhighs Well, if he truly has regrets about his son Beau, he better have although I am as dubious as you. I'm old enough to remember how those non-combatant roles can become combatant in the blink of an eye. When I came out of advanced training, the plum assignment was Viet Nam where you would wear civilian clothes and live mostly like a civilian. In a couple of months time -- not so much.
