In a sweeping and forceful speech concluding a four-day trip to Europe, President Joe Biden cast the war in Ukraine on Saturday as part of an ongoing battle for freedom and ended with a blunt call for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be stopped.

"For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said during a visit to Warsaw, Poland, in his strongest comments to date about his desire to see Putin gone.

Shortly after the speech, a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity said Biden was not calling for Putin to be removed from office.

“The president’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region," the official said. "He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change." (:samanthac:)

Biden’s remarks came just a few hours after he bluntly described the Russian leader as “a butcher” while meeting with Ukrainian refugees who had fled to Poland to escape the war in their homeland.

Biden appealed to ordinary Russians, first telling them – “if you’re able to listen” – that “you ... are not our enemy.”

“These are not the actions of a great nation,” Biden said of the bombings of hospitals, schools and maternity wards. “This war is not worthy of you, the Russian people.” (:samanthac:)

The U.S. considers its commitment to defend other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization “a sacred obligation,” Biden told Duda during a meeting at the Presidential Palace in Warsaw.

Biden later met with Ukrainian refugees, including children who asked him to “say a prayer for my dad or my grandfather or my brother. He’s back there fighting.” (:fatcat:)

I thought it was an odd statement considering the US and Israel are globally lowkey notorious for that kind of thing :bear:
