Ukraine War: 'I'll leave Joe Biden's comments for White House to clarify' - Labour

Labour's Jonathan Ashworth has distanced himself from the Joe Biden's comments after the US President suggested a regime change in Russia.

The White House has since rolled back on his comments.

It's what the majority thinks for goodness sake. Stop sounding so outraged!

"Regime change" is America's speciality! Discussion closed!

[cherianmathai]

In the past 60 years America has caused regime changes in 40 countries. Iran was a democratic nation at one time. The CIA started a coup to oust their democratically elected leader to appoint the shah to rule Iran. Today Iran has nothing to do with America. We are living in a time when people have lost critical thinking abilities. NATO and it's allies did not have to be in Ukraine. Zelensky a simpleton did not calculate the disaster that would befall his nation when he decided to let a group of a 24 nation union establish their military base 30 miles close to the border of Russia. Go back in history and analyse the Cuban missile crisis. America reacted the way it did when it was threatened 90 miles away in Cuba by the installation of missiles by USSR. Russia reacted in exactly the same way. Russia just defended it's borders that's all. Biden is not an intelligent man. He only wanted to defeat Trump. He was not prepared for anything else. His 47 years of politics sums up in the words of Obama, who said, Biden can screw up things real quick. And from day one he's being screwing up and lying. He is only a mumbling puppet of DC.

After this what about looking after our own people?

If trump said that labour would be hating on him double standard here

[rikamunchenmartins]

I totally agree with what the secretary of education said at that time on sky news.

Careless talk costs lives....

The man is a dangerous liability.

'We could end US homelessness tomorrow
but we fuel the military-industrial complex'.

Why the US can’t solve homelessness?
Homelessness is costing taxpayers a lot of money. In 2019, New York City spent a record-breaking $3 billion to support its homeless population.
California is expected to break its record, allocating $4.8 billion to the same issue over the next two years.

Despite the rising budget,
overall homelessness in the US has improved by only 10% compared with 2007.

We all know what must happen but we are really trying hard to be diplomatic, so sometimes the hard honest truth just slips out

I was in the USMC back in '82 after Reagan started his strategy to fight the cold war (reagans presidential campaign convinced me it was time to enlist). By the time I had a hard MOS in aircraft maintenance I was stationed at my permanent duty station in early 1984. No parts for maintenance were available. It was frustrating.. on the first of every month our squadron would get funding for parts. All the different shops (Hydraulics, Avionics, Ground Support, etc) Would rush the supply warehouse and by 9am the funds would be gone. One month, our shop NCOIC didn't get any orders in. We were cannibalizing like crazy just to keep a few aircraft flying. Then the spigot opened up. Congress finally pushed through the funding. I was very impressed at the efficiency of the supply logistics. All the parts needed were readily available. All I had to do is remove the defective part, fill out the paperwork, walk down to the supply warehouse and exchange for new. Didn't even need an officers signature or anything. These were like $100k parts like it was nothing! It was amazing, overnight from 0-100 mph !

Ronald was my hero, I don't know what happened to the GOP. Thankfully Bozo the Clown, who thinks Putin is brilliant, was thrown out of office despite his attempted coup.

Semper Fi

[jackboone]

He means Blinken has to clean the floor, again after Biden wet his pants. LOL

[canalboating]

This fella can't help getting in involved in anything that gives him some free publicity. he's on tv all the bloody time, never actually says anything though

[allmerrypeople]

Joe gets carried away sometimes. Alls good. At least he doesn't have access to nuclear codes. Oh wait....

[maria-pvpg]

Nothing to do with me .We just follow the US

[nay.murray]

What a joke, so he talks about sending more weapons and aid to Ukraine ( which costs money ) says we need to take in more refugee’s ( which costs money) and then he starts going on about how bad it is that citizens of this country are going to be in financial poverty . ???? Isn’t that contradictory, so there’s not enough money to go around but we should spend more on ppl from another country, while ppl in this country could soon be going hungry !!

[cbobby]

"Must not remain in power", best suited the man behind this war There's no need for any clarification at all

[ThePinkBinks]

Billionaire Rishi isn’t taking in any refugees. He’ll replace the elderly and disabled with healthy Russian and Ukrainian refugees though.
I would have taken in refugees but Rishi made sure I can’t.

[janicetan]

Why ? This is not just for Russia, but for all world leaders who do not deserve thier people's vote...

[Sheepdipu]

If Joe can't read it..he don't mean it.

[jasonbriggs]

Who is this guy? He stutters more than Joe Biden
