Following Joe Biden’s unscripted blurting out that Vladimir Putin ‘cannot remain in power’, and another bizarre appearance Monday where he appeared to rely on cue cards, Senator Rand Paul warned that it is becoming a “national security risk”.

Appearing on Fox News, Paul noted “A lot of times when you’re around somebody who’s in cognitive decline, you find yourself trying to help them with a sentence, trying to help them complete it… but we shouldn’t have to do that for the commander-in-chief.”

Paul continued, “And, it is actually a national security risk because he’s sending signals that no one in their right mind would want to send to Russia at this point. We aren’t trying to replace Putin in Russia. We aren’t trying to have regime change. We’re not sending troops into Ukraine, and we’re not going to respond in kind with chemical weapons.”

The Senator urged that Biden “lives in an alternate universe” where he blurts out whatever he pleases then claims then way it was perceived isn’t accurate.

“So I guess you’re supposed to look the other way. But even the left-wing media is noticing these gaffes,” Paul asserted.

“I do think that it is a real problem, and there’s a humorous angle to this. But it’s really not funny because we’re worried about what he’s saying, precipitating or escalating the conflict in Ukraine into a world war. That’s very serious,” Paul further emphasised.

Watch:

As we noted yesterday, An NBC poll released Sunday revealed that 8 in 10 Americans say they are worried that Biden’s bumbling and mishandling of the Ukraine situation will lead to a NUCLEAR WAR.

In addition to declaring that Putin cannot remain in power, Biden called the Russian leader a “butcher,” and last also appeared to tell U.S. troops they would be deployed to the Ukraine.

When he was questioned by Fox reporter Peter Doocy Monday about the comments, Biden claimed that none of those things happened, and that nothing he said was being walked back, despite clear statements from the White House doing exactly that:

Tucker Carlson labelled Biden’s persistent outbursts as “dangerous” and “crazed recklessness, noting “a gaffe is when you mispronounce somebody’s name. Telling troops you’re going to be sent to Ukraine, pledging the United States is going to use chemical weapons? These are not gaffes, these are something else.”
