Regime Change Biden Goes Nuts
Just when you thought that Washington couldn t possibly concoct a worse foreign policy, President Joe Biden rose to the challenge abetted by the Beltway uniparty. Democrats and Republicans alike seem to share the goal of putting America last.
On Saturday, in a speech in Poland, Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot remain in power. For the first time since Congress passed the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 and George W. Bush invaded Iraq to depose Saddam Hussein five years later, regime change is once again apparently U.S. policy.
This step is only the latest act of self-indulgent, imperious stupidity by Biden and the Harvard Kennedy School glee club running our foreign policy. A year ago, Biden blithely called Putin a killer. This month his administration accused Putin of being a war criminal. And now Biden is purporting to direct who can govern Russia.
Not since the Ottomans issued grandiose and widely ignored proclamations from the Sublime Porte in the last days of Constantinople has imperium been so pretentious and pathetic.
I’m just reposting this substack, not endorsing it. But tbf Biden’s ad hoc about Putin not remaining in power was pretty ill-advised. I’m afraid it might scare the Germans or the French to back off, and we don’t want that. Of course, it would be great if Putin were to be called early to meet his maker, but that rarely seems to happen for some reason. It will dispel any lingering doubts, of which there must have been very few, from Putin’s mind as to Washington’s intentions. But for heaven’s sake, Biden did not need to say it out loud. Everyday he shows us a new reason why the sometimes charming lack on inhibition that comes with old age does not mix with ridiculous levels of power.
