What is the standard for competency for presidents? At the very least, the ability to tell apart two major conflicts that affect the United States.
President Joe Biden slipped up twice in the last 24 hours by confusing the US war in Iraq with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday on the South Lawn of the White House, Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been weakened by a shocking mutiny by a mercenary group that’s played a critical role in his war with Ukraine.
“He is clearly losing the war in Iraq,” Biden said of Putin, evidently meaning to refer to Ukraine. “He’s losing the war at home, and he has become a bit of a pariah around the world.”
At least he didn’t call Putin, George W. Bush.
Biden made a similar mistake while speaking to donors Tuesday evening at a campaign fundraiser in Chevy Chase, Maryland, about his efforts to galvanize US allies in support of Kyiv.
“If anybody told you — and my staff wasn’t so sure, either — that we’d be able to bring all of Europe together in the onslaught on Iraq and get NATO to be completely united, I think they would have told you it’s not likely,” the president said, again meaning to say Ukraine.
He also spoke about his “new best friend” being the “prime minister of a little country that’s now the largest in the world, China,” before correcting himself that he meant to say India.
Back in November, Biden also mixed up Iraq and Ukraine during a speech in Florida while defending his policies from accusations they have fueled inflation.
“Inflation is a worldwide problem right now because of a war in Iraq and the impact on oil, and what Russia is doing,” the president said.
He quickly caught the mistake. “I mean, excuse me, the war in Ukraine,” he said.
When the president can’t tell apart Ukraine and Iraq, it’s a major problem. Biden keeps flashing back to the Iraq War which defined the final phase of his Senate career and his vice presidency.
Even Bloomberg is forced to notice that Biden is unfit, not only because of corruption, but because his mind is untethered from the realities of the moment.
How long can this go on?
JAM says
If this is the only reason to question Biden, someone isn’t watching him very closely.
Jeff Bargholz says
That’s nothing. Yesterday in a press conference with the PM of India, Biden said with a straight face: “Anyway…uh…uh…anyway. (Forgot what he was going to say because he’s a human vegetable.) I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared.”
Naturally, the filthy, stupid scumbags in the fake news media are claiming he was joking and attacking Republicans for noticing. Typical D-Bag fake reflection and idiotic lies. Biden ALWAYS smirks and laughs at his failed attempts at humor (he doesn’t have a funny bone in his body and his attempts at humor are NEVER funny and always boring.) He did neither on this occasion. He said it with a straight face and was obviously serious. Demented people admit things they shouldn’t and say inappropriate things regularly. Even inveterate liars like Dirty Joe often forget to lie and blurt out the truth. It’s a symptom of their disease, in his case, Alzheimers.
The fact that the fake news media are covering for him with a ridiculous lie and trying to shift blame to Republicans tells you all you know about those anti-American pieces of shit. May they burn in Hell and get raped by demons with twelve inch barbed dongs.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, characteristic of Alzheimer’s.
Jeff Bargholz says
The same with the angry outbursts like the one he vomited forth today at a reporter who described his crooked deals via Crack Hunter with China in a question. It was a completely inappropriate reaction.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, I’ve heard of several cases of Alzheimer’s where the person went from being a very nice person before the disease to being out of control angry, from people I knew personally. Fortunately none of the Alzheimer’s patients I knew personally were subject to those violent rages. Joe is lucky MSM doesn’t try to provoke those rages 🙂
Jeff Bargholz says
I suspect the ones that are prone to uncontrollable angry outbursts were assholes before they became demented I figure the people you knew personally with Alzheimer’s disease were nice people before they were afflicted. You wouldn’t want to be friends with assholes, right?
Algorithmic Analyst says
That’s actually somewhat humorous, despite being so tragic.
Ugly Sid says
With direct deposit, he needn’t even follow the money. The money can follow him.
George Jetson couldn’t have had it this easy. Aren’t these technical advances wonderful? Anyone with initiative can create LLCs with direct deposit accounts by the intersecting score and, badda bing, badda boom, International money transfers come pouring in.
Just build your system and deposits will come. Just like building a baseball field in cornfield.
Conrad Wolgreen says
The headline question about Biden’s competence is, obviously, rhetorical. As others have concluded, Biden is just a placeholder for the real power running the country. He’s allowed out for the sake of appearances and given his lines to read and instructions on where to stand and whose hand to shake, even though he can’t get these things quite right either. He is an embarrassment to America in front of the world. The only people who still believe he has all his faculties and is a model of an honest, ethical statesman-president are hopelessly out of touch to reality. He was installed as president because he is so corrupt that he can be blackmailed and will bring down America or because he is so mentally incompetent that he can directed and manipulated to carry out whatever policies the controlling oligarchy wishes to impose on us. Either way, the powers-that-be put him into office to rub it in our faces that they are in control and that our votes mean nothing.

Enforceable election results produced by initiatives from a beltway law firm whose service is the production of enforceable election results.

Judith says
I’ve been dying to use the word “shlemiel” all day.
Ugly Sid says
FWIW:
A Shmuck is someone who falls from an open window.
A Shlemiel is the one upon whom he lands.
Jeff Bargholz says
Buddy Hackett said that a putz is a little bitty you know what, and a shmuck is one big enough to fill a truck.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Buddy Hackett was great. I think he was my favorite comedian 🙂
Algorithmic Analyst says
shlemiel: another excellent word that we should also have in English 🙂
Ugly Sid says
If you look up Shlemiel in the dictionary you find my photograph.
Jeff Bargholz says
It means “fool.” Yiddish has some pretty funny insults. I looked up a list of them once.
Steven Kardas says
Biden: “Get me the Red Phone, I’m nuking North Dakota”
Biden handlers: ” That’s North Korea sir and we shouldn’t be nuking anyone before your nap.”

A photo montage on billboards across the country of the old geezer showing him at his worst could be effective with the right caption…
Fred A. says
This article shows that its time for President Biden to not run for reelection. He mentally is not capable of handling the job and is too easily influence by his staff. He cannot step down sooner and leave an unqualified Vice President to take his place. We have to endure the turmoil for another 18 months because so many people voted for Biden.
Jeff Bargholz says
True except the vast majority of his votes were fraudulent. The number one song in America for the last two weeks is “81 million votes my ass” by the country band, “Truth Bombers.
LYRICS:
“Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
You’ll strip the right from an American
But leave it locked and loaded for the Taliban
Hey Joe
Where you going with that blood on your hands
I heard you say it, it was on the news
You’re the President, the buck stops with you
Now there ain’t no mommy and there ain’t no dad
Cause you wrapped them up in the American flag
13 kids, but you stopped a war
And there ain’t no sense in going back for more
Cause hey Joe, we did it, 81 million votes
Hey Joe
Where you going? Why you moving so slow
They’ll prop you up for the TV screen
But forget your job, what flavor ice cream is that
And hey Joe
Where you going? Do you even know
C’mon on man, not a joke
Here’s the deal, the country’s broke
You ain’t no leader and you ain’t the boss
You wander around like you’re f**king lost
So, check your watch, turn your back
Set us up for the big attack
Cause hey Joe, we did it, 81 million votes
Hey Joe
So, where you going with that gun in your hand
And hey Joe
Where you going with all that blood on your hands
Fred A. says
Joe:
Just wanted to let you know that in my opinion, if the election is between Biden and Trump, I think Biden will win. The reason being that too many people dislike Trump personally. Don’t be surprise that more free money, one way or another, will be offered by President Biden in campaigning for reelection. That will get him reelected.
Jeff Bargholz says
Not a chance. Americans can see the deplorable and dangerous state our country is in, even knee-jerk Dirtbagocrat voters. People are sick and tired of paying more than four times for groceries, gas and other goods and services than they did when Trump was the Ultra MAGA (an inadvertent compliment by Dirtbagocrats) Over 7 million wetbacks and counting, stagflation, a destroyed economy, vastly increased crime, deadly drugs such as fentanyl, worldwide chaos and war, et., etc., etc.
The only chance Dirtbagocrats have is the perfected fallback and standby, vote cheating. Beijing Biden doesn’t have a chance without D-Bag cheating, assuming he even gets the nomination, WHICH HE WON’T. Greasehead Newsom is the likely D-Bag nominee and he can’t beat Trump in a legitimate election because America hates him and a clear majority love Trump.
You couldn’t be more wrong. Even the parasitic students and graduates who thought their student loans would be paid for by working Americans now now the Alzheimer Joe administration lied just to get their votes. Pedo Joe’s handlers knew all along they couldn’t deliver their false promise.
Robert Mann says
A few weeks ago, Biden remarked ‘God save the queen’, evidently unaware that Queen Elizabeth had died months earlier.
From the perspective of a citizen in the British Commonwealth, that is an error just as dismaying as those qupted in this article.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, and even if she were still alive his statement would’ve been bizarre. He’s American and the fake President. He isn’t a citizen of the UK. He’s supposed to have said “God bless America.”
Richard Courtemanche says
Biden hasn’t the integrity and sanity to make any decisions.
Patty says
THIS GUY HAS NOT ONLY DONE SOOOOO MUCH DAMAGE TO THIS COUNTRY…..MY QUESTION IS REALLY…….DO PEOPLE BELIEVE HIM?????? I AM SURE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO GATHER TO HEAR HIM SPEAK……HAVE TO BE PAID TO DO SO…..NOT TO MENTION VOTING?????? I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WHO LOVES AMERICA….THROWING AWAY THEIR VOTE?????? THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST!!!!! THIS IS GETTING THE CORRECT PERSON TO STAND UP FOR AMERICA!!!!! SOMEONE WHO WANTS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE COME HERE ILLEGALLY EVERY HOUR OF THE DAY AND NIGHT….MOST OF THEM ARE DRUG DEALERS, CRIMINALS,ETC; BUT KNOW IF THEY COME TO AMERICA…THEY WILL NOT BE CHARGED WITH ANY CRIME!!!!! THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CHARGED…..ARE THE INNOCENT AMERICANS JUST TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIFE!!!!! NOT SOMEONE WALKING DOWN THE STREET GETTING ASSULTED ENDING UP DEAD!!!!!!!! IT IS OK IF AMERICANS ARE INJURED…..BUT DO NOT DEFEND YOUR SELF?????????? THIS HAS TURNED INTO A COMMUNIST COUNTRY!!!!!!
Jeff Bargholz says
Massive Dirtbagocrat cheating put this mentally retarded, demented criminal in office, although there were quite a few retards who voted against President Trump, mostly knee-jerk Dirtbagocrat voters.

Daniel Greenfield is a great writer. Someone else wrote that headline with a misspelled word. The non-existent copy-editor strikes again.
