Joe Biden just dug the hole deeper for himself during a press briefing on Monday when he took some questions from the press and tried to explain the comments he had made suggesting regime change – that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”
Biden claimed he wasn’t walking any of his comments back and then he claimed to Fox’s Peter Doocy that none of the three remarks he’d made had happened.

Joe Biden was dumb today at a disastrous press conference. He didn’t even know how to respond to his own remarks.

As we have reported, all of the comments that he made were true. The White House had to walk them back or clarify, that’s another reason you know that they happened. But at this point, Biden might not be lying that he doesn’t think they happened. Biden’s mind is so muddled maybe he doesn’t even remember any more what has occurred.
There’s a huge problem created when Biden is incoherent or imprecise in what he is saying on the world stage. But now he is saying “no one believes” what he appeared to say about Putin.

Therefore, no one can believe anything you tell them. Does he think that’s a great posture to take?
The press — even the regular liberal press — is stupefied by him at this point.
Check out the face of the poor communications staffer who can’t believe that this is the guy she’s supposed to come out and defend.

Biden was then asked by a reporter if he thought about the political implications of his statements, the effect they might have on Putin or any propaganda he could make from them. Biden showed just how clueless he was with his response by saying he didn’t care what Putin thinks, that Putin is going to do what he’s going to do.
Reporter: “Are you confident that Vladimir Putin sees it that way? That he will not use this as an escalatory — ”

That’s part of the problem with his policy — he doesn’t care what effect what he says will have — like lifting sanctions on Nord Stream 2. He didn’t factor in all the harmful effects that would have. If Putin is just going to “do what he’s going to do,” why impose any sanctions at all? The purpose of this is to prevent war from getting worse. But Biden doesn’t even seem to understand what he means on sanctions either.
What happens now if Putin believes that Joe Biden just let the cat out of the bag and getting rid of him is America’s ultimate strategy here?
Putin had been throwing out signals that he might be willing to come to a negotiated settlement if he gets some of the territory he wants — like Donbas. The question is still open as to whether Ukraine would accept such an offer. Especially since the country has been holding out and doing very well. The problem is that the man with the most nukes will start to believe there is an off-ramp, and that he must go to the mat. French President Emanuel Macron said Biden’s comments were making his negotiating job harder.
French President Emmanuel Macron warned against an escalation of “words or actions,” a day after President Joe Biden said Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

Macron said on Sunday that he would not have used Biden’s words, adding that he saw his task as “achieving first a ceasefire and then the total withdrawal of [Russian] troops by diplomatic means”.
He told broadcaster France 3: “If we want to do that, we can’t escalate in either words or actions.”
So not only is Biden ratcheting up the situation pointlessly, but he’s also antagonizing the alliance with the dumb things he’s saying even as he claims everyone is united on approach.
