Biden Says Putin ‘Cannot Remain in Power’
March 26th, 2022This sounds like a collision course is being dialed in. It sounds like the Saddam Hussein operation. Unlike Saddam, however, Putin has nuclear weapons.
Via: CNBC:
President Joe Biden on Saturday said Russian leader Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power,” ratcheting up international pressure and further uniting NATO allies against Putin over his invasion of Ukraine.
“A dictator, bent on rebuilding an empire, will never erase the people’s love for liberty,” Biden said at the end of a sweeping speech in Poland. “Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia, for free people refuse to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness.”
“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said.
Biden has hurled invective at Putin throughout the crisis in Ukraine, labeling him a “murderous dictator” and a “war criminal,” but has previously stopped short of calling for his removal from power.
According to armstrongeconomics.com there are massive capital outflows from China, and other countries, back to the US. The smart money knows there is going to be war.

BTW, Kevin… I left Latvia in late January and drove through white-out blizzards and crazy wind storms, all night across Poland and into Germany, en route home to Northern Ireland. I stayed for a few days with a friend in Germany right on the Dutch border, beside a UK military base where jets where screaming down the runway on what he said was a long series of irregular training missions. Anyway, the point is, I had to bale out of Latvia while I still could (my wife and kids flew out a few weeks later), because the stress of being there while war was brewing is beyond any words I can find to describe.
When we were living in Latvia, we often read the headlines on the Kremlin propaganda tabloid in Latvia, “Vesti”, and for the past few years it’s been a steady flow of “War is coming” and articles all about projected casualty rates, flashpoints, etc. It all seemed to me to be priming the Russian-speaking populace there for a coming war with the US.
Although I’m back in my homeland now, I still feel we haven’t gone “west enough” and regret missing opportunities when I was younger to move to the US, where there are still plenty of wild, low population places to try to hide in.
Anyway… hope all is well with you down in NZ and lets hope that China, if it breaks out, doesn’t go that far south.
@cryingfreeman: WRT to the interesting blog-post you linked, I think that the answer to the question of “Why did Russia invade when it did” had a lot to do with the Ukrainian Zelensky regime’s imminent action to militarily crush the aspiring pro-Russia separatist republics in the Donbas.
