Biden says Putin 'cannot remain in power'

President Joe Biden said Saturday that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power,” dramatically escalating the rhetoric against the Russian leader after his brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Even as Biden’s words rocketed around the world, the White House attempted to clarify soon after Biden finished speaking in Poland that he was not calling for a new government in Russia. A White House official asserted that Biden was “not discussing Putin’s power in Russia or regime change.” The official, who was not authorized to comment by name and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Biden’s point was that “Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region.”

He won’t be happy until we are in a war

It's not a gaffe. Biden really means it. The White House is trying to negate what he says.

You mean old creepy can't even speak for himself. No balls, if I were him I would clarify that I meant to say what I said and fire my staff for misleading everyone.
