Careful now, Biden almost came of as a little brave when he called for Putin to be removed from office. He quickly walked back that claim and when reporters asked if he meant that it was time for a change in regime, Biden shouted “NO!”.
That’s not what he said in Polland:
“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said of Russian President Vladimir Putin — an attention-grabbing line that a source familiar with the situation said wasn’t included in the prepared remarks.
“He[Putin] makes it clear that this is about more than Ukraine,” Levin said. “To him, Ukraine does not exist, it has always been Russia, they are not Ukrainian people, they are Russians.”
The U.S. government last week declared that Russian forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine but could not confirm whether Putin would be held accountable. Levin urged the U.S. and broader global community to hold the Russian leader accountable for “killing his way to the top” and bring an end to the reign of Russia’s “madman genocidal maniac.”
“Who is the aggressor? It is Vladimir Putin. He is slaughtering innocent civilians, he is blowing up cities,” the host said. “One town on the Black Sea is 90% leveled. Wherever Putin goes, this is what he does, he has destroyed Syria with his favorite genocidal maniac there, he destroyed the Chechnya area….that’s what he does. He is a man who killed his way to the top. A man who assassinates in order to hold onto power…that is what we’re up against.”
Dismissing President Biden’s concerns of “escalating tensions,” Levin warned that Putin will continue with his deadly invasion if the U.S. and the West don’t take decisive actions to back up the Zelenskyy administration’s efforts to defend Ukraine.
“The United States should not escalate tensions, excuse me?” Levin said. “How are we escalating tensions? By helping an ally? An ally that’s trying to save its people who are being slaughtered unprovoked by a madman genocidal maniac…?”
“No,” he continued. “I don’t think so. He keeps threatening to use nuclear weapons, he is a war criminal… involved in horrific atrocities.”
Watch
Personally, I don’t want the United States, as it stands now, to enter a war with Russia. Not While we are focused on gender neutrality and kick out seasoned soldiers for not taking the vaccine. BUT Wouldn’t it be nice to have a leader who wasn’t afraid of his own shadow again?
