TOMMY NATION POLITICS: President Joe Bidens Unprepared

President Joe, Biden declared forcefully Saturday that Russian President Vladimir, Putin should no longer remain in power, an unabashed challenge that came at the very end of a swing through Europe meant to reinforce Western unity. For Gods sake, this man cannot remain in power, Biden announced at the conclusion of a capstone address delivered in the cold outside the Royal Castle in, Warsaw. The White House afterward downplayed the remark: The Presidents point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region, a White House official said. He was not discussing Putins power in, Russia, or regime change. The line was not in Bidens prepared remarks, a separate White House official said. But his remark was already reverberating as Biden departed Poland to return home to Washington after his lastminute trip to attend snap summits in Brussels and to reassure allies along NATOs eastern edge.
