A few weeks ago, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) indelicately stated his opinion about Russian boss Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine: “The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out.” The past weekend, President Joe Biden got in on the act, calling Putin a “butcher” and declaring, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
