Blinken clarifies US not seeking regime change in Russia after Biden's speech in Poland

US secretary of state Antony Blinken said the White House does not have a strategy of regime change in Russia, during a visit to Jerusalem on Sunday.

Mr Blinken's remarks offer clarification to an earlier speech by US President Joe Biden in which he seemed to suggest Vladimir Putin could not remain in power.

Iraq ? Afghanistan ? Libya ? He just told the truth by mistake .

America not wanting to change a regime..lol well that makes a change

[goharardukhanyan]

WE KEEP ON GETTIN CLARIFICATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS, MY QUESTION IS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COUNTRY, OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT JOE, SO WHO IS THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION IS A MESS

[Eman_Puedama]

So, you don't have a strategy of regime change in Russia, just have you've never had such a strategy in relation to other countries?
Right... So... in other words, you do have a strategy of regime change in Russia?

[jasondevon]

Cleaning up the mess Joe left yet again.

[artisteric]

From “let’s get him” to “removed from
Power” …. We know what Biden is thinking

[arkworthy]

1. Mention "regime change"
2. Have your lackeys take up a news cycle for 2 days with stories of how "nooo we don't want regime change"
3. Regime change happens
4. "No, we didn't do anything, we openly said on the news for 2 days we didn't want regime change"

is there some fancy term for basically announcing what you're going to do then denying it while you do it?

"Saddam must go."
"Gaddafi must go."
"Assad must go."
"Putin must go."

"We do not have a strategy for regime change in Russia or anywhere else."

So he is saying its up to the people of Russia to remove Putin, and they will use sanctions to make their lives as uncomfortable as possible until they decide they no longer want Putin as their leader.

But they dont want to affect a regime change in Russia.

The man is full of it.

It’s bad when someone has to come out and say “no sorry the President didn’t mean it”

[Leventhan]

When a nation's leader speaks, he's speaking for the country.

[ahmadillo]

Brandon can’t claim to be the most transparent administration in history when people have had to clarify what he said numerous times in the space of 48 hours.

[mick]

The regime that needs changing is the American one. Can neither party find someone under 60?

[richtemple]

What a scary Administration to be tasked with something of this magnitude. Hope they can do better than they have been with the US Southern Border.

[SolarErazer]

What if Russia said change of regime in America

[kassiwarcraft]

It's because the United States cannot Implement a regime change against a nuclear superpower 😆 how do you people not know this??

[moonbagger]

Classic sleepy joe 😂 the gift that keeps giving

[steverowlands]

The only "Regime" change that's needed is in the

[davidmonkman]

The problem is that Biden is not cognitively sound and therefore has the potential to escalate the situation . It amazes me that out of 260 million Americans the best they could come up with to replace trump is Biden..In this dangerous time America and the world deserve someone who at least knows where he is and what day it is

[robertbrown]

Theres no way 81 million people voted for him, but i reckon out of many many millions that did they are now regretting it and secretly thinking orange man good
