Biden Reassurances Notwithstanding, Putin Fears Removal By U.S.

I seriously doubt if he actually fears personal action by the US, but I'm sure he's beginning to worry about his fellow Russians.

What pissed me off about this was the coverage calling it a 'gaffe.' It was no gaffe. Yeah. He had to make it clear that regime change wasn't policy but I REALLY liked hearing him say, "I'm not walking anything back."

There's nothing to walk back. Putin can't remain in power. He needs to be eliminated.

Maybe some just preferred a President siding with a madman against his own departments findings. They liked seeing Trump as Putin's lap dog. Well, that's not Uncle Joe.

there is a difference between Biden expressing an opinion and Putin fearing that Biden will do something about it. there is no way in hell that the U.S. will actually invade Russia and try to remove Putin from power, everyone knows that and so does Putin. that was just Biden expressing an opinion which most people agree with: Putin should be removed from power. but that's all, nothing will come from this. if Putin is removed from power, it will be by other Russians, not by any outside force.

I believe Biden said what most of us think. But leaders don't want the voicing of such thoughts to be permitted in case it goes pandemic & comes round to bite them. I mean this in a general way: I have no special animosity for US president Biden.
