I, like many, wondered how Biden would embarrass the U.S. on his European trip. Well, here you go
President Biden committed multiple speaking gaffes during his trip to Lithuania this week to shore up support for Ukraine amid its war with Russia, including confusing the two nations, as well as their leaders.
While speaking to the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania on Wednesday Biden referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “Vladmir,” seemingly confusing Zelenskyy with Russian President Vladmir Putin.
Appearing to not realize his mistake, Biden went on to say he “shouldn’t be so familiar,” and referred to Zelenskyy as “Mr. Zelenskyy.”
Putin and Zelenskyy each hold a different version of the same name, with “Volodymyr” being the most commonly used version in Ukraine.
At a later speaking event following the summit, Biden confused the two nations, referring to Ukraine as Russia.
“Russia could end this war tomorrow by withdrawing its forces from Ukraine and recognizing its international borders and ceasing its attacks – its inhumane attacks – on Russia – I mean by Russia on Ukraine,” Biden said, correcting himself.
He’s just lost, and it’s rather sad to watch.

And then he flew off to Finland, and yammered about ‘climate change’ in his speech, followed by a motorcade of at least 39 fossil fueled vehicles.
It takes two to tango.
Ukraine could also end that war tomorrow by agreeing to de-Nazify, de-militarize, and abandon plans to join NATO.
They could have prevented the war entirely by simply not using their artillery on the civilian populations of Donetz for 6 years.
But let’s be frank. The war in Ukraine would end tomorrow if the Biden administration would stop forcing Ukraine to stay in it today. If the Ukraine oligarchs stopped getting their paychecks from the US treasury today, the war would stop tomorrow. The war goes on because the Biden administration (and the Kerry administration and the Hillary Clinton administration) all want it to continue. Democrats want Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian. Well, not REALLY the last Ukrainian. Obviously, the wealthy Ukrainians will get to leave the country first.
More bullshit. Ukraine could end the war tomorrow by appeasing Russia and giving up, and becoming a Russian satellite.
Russia chose to invade Ukraine, they were not forced.
De-Nazification of Ukraine is Russian propaganda taken up by the American right.
Why should Ukraine de-militarize or agree to never become a member of NATO?
Russia can end the war they started by going home. Ukraine is not a threat to Russia. Get serious.
Dementia Teach has a sad watching President Biden, yet… NATO is stronger than ever with Finland recently joining and Sweden approved, and Ukraine on the verge of joining. Russia is a failed state. Mr Biden’s predecessor supported Russia and hinted that the US should withdraw from NATO.
ZOMG! He confused Vladimir and Volodomyr!! The horror!
Inflation is dropping, wages up, employment full.
Biden vs Trump? Biden wins every time, on all counts.
Joe has been a gaffe machine for decades. He’s a stutterer. Big deal.
You spelled fuckin liar wrong.
I thought NATO was to protect Europe from the dreaded Soviets. Now the Soviets are gone, why isn’t NATO?
You hate Russia ever since it dumped the communists. At least you still have your nazi Ukrainians to dump cash in to. Plus it keeps Zelensky in his $5-$11 million a month income. Gotta love those leftists. What exactly does he produce other than dead people? (like most leftists)
I liked my leftists better before they became neocons, when they didn’t trust the establishment, and when they promoted free speech and civil rights. I wonder what happened to them all.
They really hate Russia because Putin wouldn’t play along in their BS jobs for families of connected American politicians money laundering schemes.
No one really cares about communism. Not even the communists. They all just want to get rich, cash in and live like kings.
Did you notice that all the Democrats think cluster munitions are a really good thing now and we should add them to the package going to Ukraine right away? Just 6 years ago they were calling CM immoral and having no place in the modern world or in the arsenal of any enlightened country.
You’re a right wing dupe. “The Ukrainians are Nazi’s”, she bellows! That’s what Putin says, so it must be true! “Zelensky is getting rich!”
The reason NATO exists is evident from the unprovoked invasion of non-NATO Ukraine by the right-wing hero Putin, who believed that Ukraine would fold in short order, but woefully misjudged President Zelensky and the Ukrainian patriots. Putin also misjudged NATO after 4 years of neglect by President Biden’s weak predecessor. If Ukraine had been a NATO member Putin wouldn’t have the balls to invade.
I hated the Soviet Union/Russia even when they were communist authoritarians. They’re now right-wing authoritarians. Hardly different, just with more billionaire oligarchs.
Las Vegas has Trump as the dog in 2024 at +300
It has been reported that the Secret Service has closed its investigation, and cannot find out who could possibly have left the bag of cocaine in the West Wing. Naturally we evil reich-wingers simply assume that it was left there by Hunter Biden, an admitted cocaine addict.
But that seems to easy to me. If the Secret Service cannot ascertain whose coke it was, and everybody simply assumes it was the younger Mr Biden’s, doesn’t that mean people won’t ask the obvious question: could it have belonged to someone else? Who else with access to the West Wing, who is never tested for drugs, not so infrequently acts half-befuddled?
The most reasonable explanation is that the White House is perfectly happy with people assuming that the coke belonged to the younger Mr Biden.
Which begs the question… Why couldn’t President Biden, at once a befuddled senior AND a scheming manipulative svengali, have simply suppressed the information on the coke and weed??
After all, the President that faked 10s of millions of votes that can’t be found, hid the evidence of his and Hunter’s financial crimes in China AND Ukraine, and suppressed the evidence of all his pedophilia attacks, CAN’T hide a few grams of coke or pot???
Elwood, the fake liar pres didn’t hide anything or we wouldn’t know about it. He and his corrupt, perverted fake admin just cover it all up. Only morons believe anything this lying pig says. Don’t be a moron.
Do you actually believe the shit they put out or even worse ignore, bury and cover up?
CarolAnn,
The fake liar right-wing just can’t seem to find any credible evidence to back their claims. Only morons believe that Trump won the 2020 elections. Don’t be a moron!
Again… the befuddled Biden who can’t even hide a few grams of cocaine was clever enough to hide 10 million fake votes!!
But the conservative “brain” famously maintains these 180 degree contradictory concepts simultaneously! Don’t be a conservative.
Brandon skipped the NATO dinner Tuesday night and went back to his hotel. He was too tired. That’s one of he downsides of the leader of the free world being 80-years-old. He’s too tired to do the job.
