It was a gaffe, politically, in as much as it gives Putin proof of what he


has been claiming to Russians, i.e., that NATO is coming for him. You are correct that regime change has never been the policy of the US but when the President of the US and alleged leader of the free world says Putin can't stay in power, it is a political gaffe.....especially a day or so after suggesting NATO would respond "in kind" to Putin using chemical weapons followed by telling US troops they would be going to Russia. No one in the West believes that is US policy but Putin will use video of Biden's comments to great effect in Russia which makes it harder to get Putin to an off ramp.
