However, it is possible that Biden’s “gaffe,” for which “top officials” needed to conduct damage control, wasn’t a gaffe at all, but instead part of a calculated effort to goad Russia into Ukraine.

I doubt it. If there's one thing Biden's been reliable about, it's about his unreliable speaking ability.

Never assume malice when it's easily explained by incompetence.

Maybe there's someone behind the scenes who might try to use Biden's gaffe to their advantage, but I don't believe for one second that Biden said anything purposeful.

And admitting to threats of withholding a billion dollars if he didn't get a prosecutor fired from the Ukrainian courts system.

At a friggin CFR press conference.
