NEW YORK (VINnews) — President Joe Biden appeared to confuse Libya with Syria a number of times during a press conference at the G-7 summit in Cornwall, England.

In response to questions regarding his upcoming meeting with Russian president Putin, Biden said Sunday that “There is a lot going on where we can work together with Russia.

“For example, in Libya, we should be opening up the passes to be able to go through and provide food assistance, an economic, I mean, vital assistance to a population that is in real trouble. I think I’m gonna try very hard — by the way, there’s places where — I should not be starting off by negotiating in public here, but let me say it this way: Russia has engaged in activities which we believe are contrary to international norms,” Biden continued, apparently alluding to Russia’s military presence in Syria.

Biden then appeared to confuse the countries two more times as he continued to make his point. Both countries have suffered long civil wars and are in the process of rebuilding but the Russian influence has only been significantly present in Syria.

“They have also bitten off some real problems, and they’re gonna have trouble chewing on them,” Biden added. “For example, the rebuilding of Syria, of Libya. They’re there, and as long as they’re there without the ability to bring about some order in the region, and you can’t do that very well without providing for the basic economic needs of people, so I am hopeful that we can find an accommodation where we can save the lives of people in, for example, in Libya consistent with the interests of — maybe for different reasons, but for the same reasons,” Biden said.

Speaking of Putin specifically, Biden admitted that it would be difficult for him to “change a person’s behavior.”

“There is no guarantee you can change a person’s behavior or the behavior of their country. Autocrats have enormous power, and they do not have to answer to a public,” Biden said. “The fact is that it may very well be if I respond in kind, which I will, that it does not dissuade him. He wants to keep going. But I think we’re gonna be moving in a direction where Russia has its own dilemmas, let us say, in dealing with its economy, dealing with COVID, and dealing with, not only the United States, but Europe at large and the Middle East.”

Biden’s aides later brushed off the apparent gaffe, saying that he had meant to say Syria when saying Libya. But the president was widely criticized on social media for confusing the two nations.

 

 

 

 

“He’s overprepared!” boasted first lady Jill Biden of her husband.

Biden’s talks with Putin are set to begin Wednesday.

Both Syria and Libya have five letters.
Both share “aiy”. One word has uniquely “sr”, the other has “bl”.
When you combine the unique consonants, and add vowels, you get “SLoBBeR”.

What do we learn from this?

PS You can also vocalize these letters as “RuBBLeS.”
Those were nice people.

President Trump made a bit of a historical blunder during his Fourth of July “Salute to America” speech Thursday when he said that the Continental Army “took over the airports” from the British during the American Revolutionary War in the 1770s.

During his hour-long speech at the grounds of Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., Trump stayed largely off politics.

Trump praised the Americans’ military efforts in the war against Great Britain. “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory,” he said.

Biden’s gaffes are far better than confusing despotic regimes as normal and acceptable.
