President Biden speaking at the Royal Castle in Warsaw on Saturday had a speech which was intended to highlight U.S. support for its European allies, but the president veered off-script.

Do you think that President Biden’s high-stakes speech on Saturday was crafted with the intent of throwing the full weight of the United States behind its European allies?.

Just nine unscripted words put an already jittery world on The edge again.

President Joe Biden's suggestion in Poland on Saturday that Vladimir Putin's onslaught on Ukraine should disqualify him from power triggered an international political storm. CNN reports.

Back in Washington on Sunday evening, Biden told reporters that he was not calling for a regime change in Russia -- echoing a message spelled out multiple times by his subordinates even before he had returned to the US.

But the global reverberations from the remarks left the administration facing grave questions. Some are strategic and could impact the future course of the war and so-far elusive hopes for a ceasefire. Others are political and relate to Biden's standing at home, amid a torrent of Republican criticism, and internationally, as he seeks to keep the Western coalition together.

It would appear that the European Diplomatic tour could be an addition of more salt to injury.
