Biden’s gaffe has ruined months of our hard work, say European officials

World leaders watched in horror as Joe Biden introduced 'President Putin' - AP

Joe Biden’s gaffes have ruined months of hard work and undermined the Nato summit, diplomatic sources told The Telegraph.

On stage, Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz defended the president over a slip of the tongue in which he called Volodymyr Zelensky “President Putin”.

The US leader went on to call Kamala Harris “vice-president Trump”.

But roaming the corridors of the summit, aides were more frank in their verdict of the president’s performance.

“It was awful,” an official said, describing standing in the crowd as events unfurled.

The consensus amongst diplomats and officials who spoke to The Telegraph, and were granted anonymity to speak more freely, was that it took less than a minute to change the narrative of an entire summit.

The sources realised they would be forced to read about the gaffe on tomorrow’s front pages instead of stories of their successes.

“It’s taken the focus away from what has been a great summit for us,” a diplomat said.

Before the slip-up, officials and diplomats were overjoyed with the outcomes of the meeting, which marked the alliance’s 75th anniversary with a show of unity in defiance of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.  .  .

"World leaders" and Justin Trudeau really don't belong in the same discussion.

The Biden Idiocracy took their clown act to that meeting, and the international leaders must remain anonymous in their critical complaints of Wrecking Ball Joe.  Why is that?  Because WBJ would turn and attack anyone that would go on the record.

Nor Macron.

If Europeans don't want Biden flubbing the Ukraine situation, leave America out of it.

Ukraine is not on America's continent.

Ukraine is important for European security; not American security.

Let the lazy Euro-Trash-Socialists spend THEIR own money to defend THEIR own continent.

Wilsonian "making the world safe for Democracy" is strategic quicksand.  If the Europeans value their "democracies", they will pay and they will fight to defend those democracies themselves.

Funny how a couple of 'floaters' can ruin a perfectly good punch.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
