Biden mistakenly refers to Iraq whilst criticising Putin's invasion of Ukraine

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, the US president mistakenly said that Vladimir Putin, whose army is fighting a war in Ukraine, was losing the war in Iraq.

Joe Biden is the second US leader who supported the 2003 invasion to have made this mistake; George Bush similarly said Iraq instead of Ukraine whilst criticising the Russian president's invasion. Biden told reporters: 'It's hard to tell, but he was clearly losing the war in Iraq, he's losing the war at home. And he has become a bit of a pariah around the world'.

The Guardian on YouTube:

I just hope he don't confuse the nuke button with the TV remote.

both him and bush keep saying iraq by mistake the war crimes they did in iraq cannot leave their minds

[leonsalter]

First Bush and now Biden. Perhaps Freudian slips become more common with age?

[sbeast]

He's done this a few times now. Someone give this man a cognitive test!

[a.o.e]

Reporter: "Mr president how do you feel about the economy?"
Biden: "Well you see there is no war in iraq"

Can we just admit the old man has dementia, and move on?

[PotatoSalad]

I'm surprised he didnt say Vietnam

When asked for comment on the President's remarks, VP Kamala Harris laughed for 12 minutes straight...

Oh gee let’s continue to hire a demented elder to run the show and tell series in the state of the world. Might as well while the various hidden players run the real show, or not.

Funny how western media refuse to mention the oxygen mask strap lines on his cheeks

[OFFIZERANTIDUOLINGO]

I did not know that biden lived in a alternate reality where russia invaded iraq instead of ukraine

[richardcrosby]

It's like he forgot what decade he was in.

Вроде бы жаль старика…. Но если посмотреть видео с ним 25 летней давности, когда он еще не страдал деменцией, как он радовался бомбежкам Белграда! Видимо, каждый заслуживает такую старость, какую он вел жизнь 🤷‍♀️

Iraq winning a war without even noticing they are at war 😂

[dgtalstd]

Sniffing childrens hair as often as his son sniffed the lemo, it's a silent killer. His brain ceased to exist during the Iraq war. This is the end result...

America must be brought to the ICJ for its war crimes and terrorism in Iraq

And you’re telling me 80 million of yinz voted for him!??
