Joe Biden messed up — even the media is now calling him out.
During his first solo press conference in almost 10 months, Biden gave his entire foreign policy strategy away to Russia.
He let them know what they could get away with.

That’s when Biden went through different US responses on the table…
“He’s never seen sanctions like the ones I promised will be imposed if he moves, number one,” the president said. “It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.”
“But if they actually do what they’re capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine. And that our allies and partners are ready to impose severe cost and significant harm on Russia and the Russian economy,” he added. This might include barring Russia from “anything that involves dollar denominations”; and notably in recent months the West has threatened to cut Russia off from SWIFT.
This was a complete disaster:
WH staffer: “State Dept official lines and back-channels with Ukraine completely flooded, what a f**ing mess.”

The ‘minor incursion’ line is what was said in the last Ukraine meeting Biden was in and he forgot he wasn’t supposed to say it publicly

Ukrainian officials were horrified:
Re: Biden in press conference suggesting a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine would be met with a lesser response, CNN's Matthew Chance (who's in Kyiv) just reported that Ukrainian officials "watched those remarks with horror"
