Biden ‘s time in Europe certainly has attracted allot of attention. Last night, Biden made some direct comments towards Putin which appear to have been insulting to the Kremlin though it is unclear how the Kremlin will react.
‘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 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.
‘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.’
In the same speech, Biden made a number of digs at the dishonest Russian President and his stunning acts of war calling for peace and an end to the more than month long invasion of Ukraine.
