President Biden's recent gaffe at the NATO summit has caused a global stir. Find out the top 5 weirdest political mix-ups ever and more!

President Putin made a cameo at the recent NATO summit, but not in the way you might expect. U.S. President Joe Biden committed a major faux pas by mistakenly introducing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as 'President Putin.' The mix-up sent shockwaves through the diplomatic circles, making headlines worldwide. While Biden quickly corrected himself, the blunder left a lasting impression on the attendees.

This slip of the tongue by Biden joins a list of the 5 weirdest political mix-ups in history. From calling the wrong name to mistaking identities, political figures have had their fair share of embarrassing moments. Biden's gaffe, however, stands out due to the high-profile nature of the NATO summit and the sensitive relations between the involved countries.

Despite the mishap, trust in President Putin remains remarkably high according to a recent poll, standing at 81.5% among Russians. This unwavering support highlights the complex dynamics of international politics and the enduring influence of leaders on their citizens. While Biden's verbal slip may have caused a stir, Putin's solid backing among his people reflects a different side of the political spectrum.

The aftermath of Biden's blunder has sparked global debates and discussions, with Moscow reacting sharply to the incident. Russia fired back at Biden's comments about Putin, intensifying the already strained relations between the U.S. and Russia. The verbal sparring following the gaffe underscores the delicate nature of diplomacy and the impact of even the slightest misstep on international affairs.
