Biden's declaration that Putin 'cannot remain in power' was not a gaffe

 https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/27/opinions/biden-putin-democracy-power-obeidallah/index.html

    Putin -- whom Biden has rightfully called a "war criminal" -- should not remain in power given his horrific attack on Ukraine, his role in slaughtering civilians in Syria and his efforts to undermine Western democracies, including during the 2016 US presidential campaign.

    1. It is not official policy.
      White House had to walk it back

    2. it is a political gaffe - we all personally agree with his sentiments - but it was not in the script and can have dangerous consequences:

      Could Biden gaffe us into world war three?

    3. It is more likely helping end the war.

      Putin started it remember.

    4. Biden called for regime change. Is he prepared to stand by that statement? If Russian rebels want American help, will he provide it? Or will he say "Well that's not actually what I meant"?

    5. of course not
      Like when Bush 1 said he'd support those who rise up against Saddam hussein, but didn't.
