TL;DR Summary

President Joe Biden mistakenly claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is losing the war in Iraq, when in fact Putin is carrying out a full-scale invasion in Ukraine. Biden also mentioned that Putin is losing support globally, including from NATO, the European Union, and Japan. This gaffe comes after Putin faced an attempted rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner Group. Biden has a history of gaffes and misspeaking, including confusing the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team with an infamous British military unit and addressing the British prime minister as "Mr. President."
