'Whenever the United States tried regime change, it didn't turn out very well,' notes yanisvaroufakis
The remarks, though later walked back by the White House, are the most explicit yet from the U.S. president that he sees no future for Putin as Russia's head of state.Bucking those who warn that a push for regime change in Moscow could prolong the war in Ukraine and intensify the suffering of its people, U.S. President Joe Biden appeared to openly call for the overthrow of Russian Vladimir Putin on Saturday during a speech in Warsaw, Poland.
According to Varoufakis, and others who share his concerns, the idea of a western-imposed regime change strategy aimed at the Kremlin could"be catastrophic for the people of Ukraine." "What is exactly the aim?" asks Varoufakis during the exchange."Is it regime change in Russia? Well, whenever the United States tried regime change, it didn't turn out very well, and has never been tried with a nuclear power. This is like playing with fire, or nuclear fire, I should say. If it's not regime change, what exactly is it?"
In his assessment, Varoufakis said that if Biden and his NATO allies are"not leaving any room for a compromise" with Putin, then they are"effectively jeopardizing the interests of Ukrainians, because a quagmire in—an Afghanistan-like quagmire in the Ukraine is not exactly in the interests of any Ukrainian I know of."
"The President's point was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. He was not discussing Putin's power in Russia, or regime change," said the official.
