"I'm in this to complete the job war I started," US President Joe Biden said at a high-stakes press event on the final day of the 2024 NATO summit.

His comments came amid calls for him to end his reelection bid.

Biden's Putin gaffe

President Biden drew gasps on Thursday evening (local time) when he referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin", confusing him with the Russian tyrant whose forces have invaded Ukraine for the past two-and-a-half years.

Next gaffe

Cameras have captured the reaction of Joe Biden's senior officials when he made a major gaffe at today's press conference.

Mr Biden made an unfortunate gaffe on the very first question, calling Vice President Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump".

Permission to strike Russia with UK missiles 'not a done deal,' British officials tell Telegraph | Kyiv Independent |

    "Just as usual, the allies are shit scared of f,ing Russia I can't get my cap on. What should happen is nato countries and America should bomb them crap out of Russia and Finnish it once and for all."

    "The address came a day after Russia launched a deadly mass missile attack on July 8 that killed over 200 civilians and targeted a children's hospital.

    U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the U.S. would not change its policy on Ukrainian strikes within Russia in light of the attack."

    So what the hell WILL it take????? A children's hospital isn't enough to change the US's mind????? Utterly shameful.

    At this point Kirby might as well be working for the Russians.

Answer: Ukraine with a Jewish leader is not the same as the Jewish State with knucklehead Netanyahu as leader.

The cost of Biden's complacency in Ukraine | The Hill |

The speed of Biden and the NATO bureaucracy that follows it is an existential threat to Ukraine's existence. Ukraine is under attack now and needs relief now -- not another announcement full of empty platitudes.

The United Kingdom answered the call when new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer reauthorized Ukraine to strike military targets inside Russia with Storm Shadow missiles, continuing the previous government's policy on the use of its long-range weapons.

Poland is considering shooting down Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory. That proposal was met with an immediate response from National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, who told reporters, "We want to look for ways to make Ukraine effective, but we don't want escalation."

Not A Proxy War ... please repeat ...

Kirby continued, saying, "It wouldn't be good for Ukrainians, it wouldn't be good for Poles, it wouldn't be good for would not be good for everyone else .... We don't want to give Putin arguments that the war was provoked by NATO, that it is a war between Russia and the West or between Russia and the U.S.

As then-presidential candidate Ronald Reagan responded to President Jimmy Carter during a presidential debate in 1980, "There you go again." Only now, it is more Biden administration escalation paralysis.
