Joe Biden visited Poland to meet the Polish president on Friday. He also visited the U.S. military personnel stationed in Poland as part NATO’s defense of Poland. He also met some members of the Airborne 82nd. Many of the things he spoke during that visit were very troubling and are likely to spark all manner of opinions. Biden frequently says embarrassing things and it’s bad. This time though, he made a worse statement that could backfire on us.
First, let’s deal with what I would term the “normal” bad embarrassing stuff from Biden.
When he was talking about his Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, he referred to him as “Secretary of State.”

Um, Joe, they’re not the same position, there is a difference. He’s had trouble with Austin’s name in the past, just calling him “General.”
Then there was the typical Biden exaggeration where he makes his experience more than it is, claiming he’d visited Afghanistan and Iraq more than he had.
Biden says: “I have been in and out Iraq and Afghanistan around 40 times. 38 times.”

He then tells the 82nd Airborne: “Don’t jump.”

It was a tired and weird joke the first 52 times he’s said it. But it’s sort of incumbent upon the 82nd Airborne to “jump” — it’s what they do.
But here’s the bad thing he said that could blow back on us big time and he needs to explain what the heck he is talking about here. He seemed to be telling the 82nd Airborne the things they should expect once they arrive in Ukraine. What?

“You’re going to see when you’re there — some of you have been there — you’re going to see women, young people standing in the middle, in the front of a damn tank saying ‘I’m not leaving,’” Biden declared.
So they’re going to Ukraine and some have already been there? Is he talking of other locations where they might be sent? Big problem. Biden previously stated that he wouldn’t send troops to Ukraine as it might spark World War III.
Andrew Feinberg of the Independent caught Biden’s comments and asked the White House what was going on. He didn’t include the “some of you have already been there” comment that the video captures.
Just right now @POTUS told US troops: “You’re going to see when you’re there, you’re going to see women, young people standing in the middle, in the front of a damn tank saying I’m not leaving”.
I have asked White House to clarify whether troops are being planned or not.

The White House attempted to resolve the situation by claiming that he was clear about not sending troops.
UPDATE: @WhiteHouse spokesperson tells me: “The President has been clear we are not sending U.S. troops to Ukraine and there is no change in that position.”

Then, why was he so clear? Biden is far from clear. He’s just a mess. And what is he talking about with the “Some of you have already been there” comment? Did Joe reveal something he shouldn’t have? Are his words just a miscommunication? When he leaked that he would visit Ukrainian refugees in the border area and elsewhere, his lips were loose. His safety is at risk.
Now you know Russia is going to interpret his comments as us having troops in Ukraine and that’s not a good thing if you’re trying not to kick off World War III. Joe is once more adamant, but it’s in a very dangerous manner.
