Joe Biden almost caused yet another international incident. Biden previously claimed during an interview that he told Vladimir Putin to his face that he was soulless and called him a killer. Russia then recalled their ambassador to reevaluate their relationship with the U.S. Putin then challenged Biden to a live debate and Biden said he was “too busy,†backing down.
His team must be so busy running cover for all the things he messes up.
There was a big one that he made on Thursday during the press conference.
While he was talking about Afghanistan, he forgot the name of the Afghan president, calling him by the wrong name. “And General Austin is — just met with Kayani and I’m waiting for the briefing on that,†Biden said. The president’s name is Gen. Ashraf Ghani. Biden appeared to confuse him with the former chief of Pakistan’s defense forces, the retired Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. According to The New York Times, Kayani was often accused of “double-dealing and bad faith.†Probably not a good thing to call someone who you’re supposed to know and be friendly with. Yikes. Just another one of those “no problem here†issues with Biden.
On top of that, Biden seemed to question the legitimacy of Ashraf Ghani as the president of Afghanistan.
“He is the — the ‘leader,’ quote, in Afghanistan and Kabul. And there’s a U.N.-led process that’s beginning shortly on how to mechanically get people — how to end this war,†Biden said.
That’s not good when Ghani’s rival is still questioning the election, but we’ve recognized Ghani.
