So far on this trip to Poland to rally NATO to the defense of Europe, Joe Biden has
1) threatened to respond "in kind" if Russia uses chemical or biological weapons;
2) told members of the 82nd Airborne they're about to deploy to Ukraine ("when you’re there, you’re going to see women, young people standing in the middle, in the front of a damn tank saying 'I’m not leaving.'");
3) specifically called for regime change in Russia (“For god’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”).
We're not supposed even to possess chemical and biological weapons.
Russia has stated NATO intervention in Ukraine is a cause for war with NATO.
Making removal of Putin the NATO objective is the existential threat Putin also says is a cause for war.
At least in 1984 when Ronald Reagan quipped in a sound check, "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.", he was only joking.
The Reagan joke was deliberately leaked to embarrass him, which it did. But today's White House scrambles to correct all these Biden statements because none of them are jokes.
Joe Biden is the loose cannon on the ship of state.
And they used to call this guy a dunce.
