yeah, really bad timing to misspeak. it's also a bad time for him to be calling Putin a war criminal. Like I get the sentiment to say that- I certainly agree with that- and it's fine if the media goes on about that- but the President of the United States should not be declaring that and making statements that will probably only inflame tensions and escalate the situation. Have to practice a little bit of measure and diplomacy and try to diffuse tensions and deescalate the situation.

Biden has a fat mouth in his old man stage- the guy was not really flying off at the mouth before. His big mouth cost him with the Saudis and seriously damaged US-Saudi relations. Don't need it inflaming this current crisis.

I'm assuming he misspoke, but this is a really bad time to misspeak on this particular subject.

There is zero doubt the Russian propagandists will latch onto it and say, "See, we TOLD you the USA was going to send in troops!"

What if he didn't misspeak?

What if the gaffe was revealing the true plan while he was not supposed to do so?
