'Russia's murderous war in Ukraine does not give Biden any valid excuse to make a horrendous situation worse,' says NormanSolomon.
With a reckless genie out of the bottle, no amount of damage control from the president's top underlings could stuff it back in.Ever since Joe Biden ended his speech in Poland on Saturday night by making one of the most dangerous statements ever uttered by a U.S. president in the nuclear age, efforts to clean up after him have been profuse. Administration officials scurried to assert that Biden didn't mean what he said.
Russia's murderous war in Ukraine does not give Biden any valid excuse to make a horrendous situation worse. The USA's commander in chief, brandishing the power to launch one of the world's two biggest nuclear arsenals, would be out of his mind to consciously announce a goal of dethroning the leader of the world's other nuclear superpower. Worst case would be that he was blurting out his government's actual secret goal, which would not speak well of impulse control.But it's not much more reassuring to think that the president simply got carried away with his emotions.
To even hint that the U.S. is seeking regime change in Russia—and to leave the world wondering whether the president is slipping or threatening—is a form of imperial insanity in the nuclear era that we must not tolerate. Activists have a special role to play—by emphatically insisting that members of Congress and the Biden administration must focus on finding solutions that will save Ukrainian lives as well as put a stop to the slide toward military escalation and global nuclear annihilation.To even hint that the U.S. is seeking regime change in Russia—and to leave the world wondering whether the president is slipping or threatening—is a form of imperial insanity in the nuclear era that we must not tolerate.
