Biden: "For God's Sake, This Man Cannot Remain In Power"

[1] I guess we all kinda agree about that.

[2] Apparently it's something world leaders are not supposed to say.

[3] I suppose it's a significant "gaffe," given how fast the administration repudiated it.

[4] Of course there's no possible way to reinterpret what he said to mean:

“The president’s point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region,” the official, who preferred to speak under condition of anonymity, said. “He was not discussing Putin’s power in Russia, or regime change.”

They can't say the truth: Biden should have said that. Scratch it. Here's what he should have said instead. But that's just the way of such stuff. That's what they mean, and basically everybody knows it.
