Unwise, irresponsible for Biden to take personal grievances toward Putin to national level

By Global TimesPublished: Mar 28, 2022 09:59 PM

After US President Joe Biden said on Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin „cannot remain in power,“ both the White House and some US lawmakers hurried to put out the fire set by their president. But no matter how well Biden’s propaganda machine works, it cannot downplay the fact that such a blunt statement at a sensitive time could further inflame the situation. This was unwise and irresponsible, reflecting a dire problem within US policy-making: some politicians are taking their personal grievances to the national level.The US president’s remarks imply the policies of Washington. When there is ongoing crisis in Ukraine, they could lead to very dangerous consequences. US Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, who is the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Biden’s line was a „horrendous gaffe,“ urging Biden to „stay on script.“ Moreover, Biden said Putin „is a butcher“ after visiting with refugees in Warsaw, Poland on Saturday. Previously, Biden called Putin a „war criminal“ and „killer.“ Lü Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Biden’s move to take his personal grievances to national level is risky.

Biden’s „off-script“ remarks were the reflection of his frustrations and anguish with the situation.
