D.C.’s Foreign Policy ‘Experts’ Now Demand ‘Regime Change’ for Russia.

The National Pulse ^ | February 27, 2022 | Natalie Winters

[E. Pluribus Unum]

host of foreign policy “experts” are now explicitly calling for “regime change” in Russia following Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine.

Reminiscent of the establishment’s failed calls for regime change in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, whose military conflicts cost countless American lives and resources, the sentiment appears to be at odds with the majority of the country. Nearly three-quarters of Americans oppose playing a major role in the unfolding conflict.

Benjamin Wittes, a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Washington, D.C.-based Brookings Institution, epitomized the establishment’s ultimate policy goal for Russia in a recent tweet: “Regime change: Russia.”

Any replacement for Putin can reasonably be expected to be even more committed to Russia’s well-being and completely disinterested in the preferences of any other country.

Why would he be otherwise?

[Flavious_Maximus]

And Americans are calling for regime change in the USA!

[Meet the New Boss]

I wish these arrogant idiots would just shut up

This is exactly the kind of thing that Putin would use to rally the public to him and away from growing dissent

[fireman15]

They need to write a really nasty letter to Putin.

[caww]

Oh for crying out loud...here we go with the Washington spewing about regime change again. Next they’ll cry for Zelesnky to be impeached if he doesn’t comply with their wishes.

[Varsity Flight]

Bow wow.

[Antihero101607]

We got a package deal for them: One man with 50 years of experience, a diverse woman who puts out, and we’ll throw in another white lady with a bitchin’ ice cream freezer and an appreciation for vodka.

And the price of Russian mail order brides just collapsed...lol

[Bishop_Malachi]

And Americans are calling for regime change in the USA!

This needs to be retweeted back to the so-called “policy expert”.

Russian history would tend to indicate that the best way to foment Putin's removal is to hand him a humiliating defeat in war, as in 1905 and 1917.

The man threatened the world with nuclear war so I'm for extreme measures like, say, sinking the Russian Navy.

Guess invading countries is okay when we do it

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The man threatened the world with nuclear war...

Brandon did that first.

Invading Ukraine isn’t beneficial to Russia’s well-being.

[farmguy]

Maybe they can show the Russians how to rig the next election ...

(They’re quite good at it)

[LukeL]

Because it worked out so well in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Panama....

Had to look to see who this Benjamin Wittes even is.

And I copied this off of his Wikipedia page-

_____

In a post on Lawfare on January 28, 2017, reacting to Executive Order 13769, Wittes characterized the Trump administration as "malevolence tempered by incompetence.

_____

That tells me all I need to know about this character.

[farmguy]

Actually, brandon threatened Americans with nuclear weapons first.

[DannyTN]

Regime change in Russia has to be done by Russians.
