Biden talked about Russia\u2019s ongoing military <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/06\/01\/russia-syria-vladimir-putin-syrian-civil-war-bashar-assad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">actions<\/a> in Syria, but three times mistakenly confused the country with Libya.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no guarantee you can change a person\u2019s behavior or the behavior of their country. Autocrats have enormous power and they do not have to answer to a public,\u201d Biden began. \u201cThe 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\u2019re gonna be moving in a direction where Russia has its own dilemmas, let us say, in dealing with its economy, dealing with \u2014 COVID, and dealing with, not only the United States, but Europe writ large and the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere 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 \u2014 food assistance \u2014 an economic, I mean \u2014 vital assistance to a population that is in real trouble. I think I\u2019m gonna very hard \u2014 by the way there\u2019s places where \u2014 I should not be starting off by negotiating in public here, but let me say it this way \u2014 Russia has engaged in activities which we believe are contrary to international norms,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have also bitten off some real problems they\u2019re gonna have trouble chewing on. For example, the rebuilding of Syria, of Libya \u2014 you know, this is \u2014 they\u2019re there and as long as they\u2019re there without the ability to bring about some order in the region, you can\u2019t do that very well without providing or the basic economic needs of people, so I am hopeful that we can find accommodation where we can save the lives of people in, for example, in Libya consistent with the interests of \u2014 may be far different reasons \u2014 but for the same reasons,\u201d the president concluded. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/04\/biden-gaffes-vaccine-rollout-website-ccd-guidelines-cdc-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018Follow The CCD Guidelines\u2019 And \u2018Visit Vaccines.Gum\u2019: President Biden Gaffes His Way Through Press Conference)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The clip was widely shared on Twitter with President Biden\u2019s critics commenting on his longtime tendency to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/18\/president-biden-wildest-gaffes-campaign-slip-ups\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gaffe<\/a>, and questioning the state of his cognitive abilities, which has been under scrutiny since he launched his campaign for president.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"8.6411149825784\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is horrible.
