    Trump accuses Biden of risking nuclear war with Russia. 

US President Biden called for regime change in Moscow, alarming allies and triggering panic in Washington.

Former US President Donald Trump accused Joe Biden of possibly provoking Vladimir Putin into a nuclear war after the US president called for the Russian President's removal.

The former US President tried to undo the damage from what is seen as Biden’s biggest gaffe since coming into office.

Biden said, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power," triggering panic in the White House, which rushed out a statement insisting that “regime change” in Moscow was not on the administration’s agenda.

However,  in an interview with Newsmax, Trump said he feared the damage had already been done.

"When you put him into a corner and you talk the way they're talking – they're talking weak – and they're almost giving him an incentive," Trump said. "They're handling him very badly, in my opinion."

'No strategy of regime change'

During a visit to occupied Palestine on Sunday, the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said, "I think the president and the White House, made the point last night that, quite simply, President Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else."

He added, “As you know, and as you have heard us say repeatedly, we do not have a strategy of regime change in Russia - or anywhere else, for that matter."

But experts, including Richard Haass, president of the US Council on Foreign Relations, accused the President of intensifying the crisis.

The comments by @potus made a difficult situation more difficult and a dangerous situation more dangerous. That is obvious. Less obvious is how to undo the damage, but I suggest his chief aides reach their counterparts & make clear US prepared to deal with this Russian govt. https://t.co/AMGx6KzToP

The White House walk back of @POTUS regime change call is unlikely to wash. Putin will see it as confirmation of what he’s believed all along. Bad lapse in discipline that runs risk of extending the scope and duration of the war.

'Unwise' remarks

In Britain, Tobias Ellwood, the chairman of the Commons Defence Select Committee, described Biden’s remarks as “unwise”.

Unwise comment:

It’s for the Russian people to draw this (obvious) conclusion.

Putin /Xi (& many Russians) will now read ‘regime change’ as POTUS’ wider objective - beyond supporting Ukraine.

Moreover, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has said that the threat of a nuclear conflict will always exist.

“No one wants any war, much less a nuclear war, which is a threat to the very existence of human civilization,” Medvedev told Sputnik, responding to a question about a possible nuclear conflict or a war between Russia and NATO.

He said he sided with those analysts who say the development of nuclear weapons has prevented a huge number of conflicts in the 20th and 21st centuries. “[They] are right. This is true. It is what it did,” he noted.

He said the current crisis is worse than during the Cold War because Russia’s counterparts at that time were not trying to bring the situation to a boiling point, which the current so-called superpowers are doing with their long list of orchestrated draconian sanctions.

Russia has already declared that it will only use nuclear weapons if its very existence was threatened by the West.

“We have a concept of domestic security and it’s public, you can read all the reasons for nuclear arms to be used. So if it is an existential threat for our country, then it (the nuclear arsenal) can be used in accordance with our concept,” Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said last Tuesday.

As the Draconian Western-led sanctions on Russia exacerbate the economic crisis worldwide, and as Russian troops gain more ground despite the influx of military aid into Ukraine, exposing US direct involvement in bio-labs spread across Eastern Europe and the insurgence of neo-Nazi groups… How will things unfold?
