Biden and Putin in Tense Meeting in Geneva
[PJMEDIA] Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....
and Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
appeared tense and uncomfortable in their first of two bilateral meetings today as the two leaders are expected to butt heads on everything from cybercrime to human rights

Continued from Page 3


...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
Both sides sought to downplay the importance of the meeting in their pre-summit spin. Indeed, no big issues will be resolved, no memorandums of understanding will be agreed to. Relations between the two powers are at a post-Cold War low and that’s not expected to change in Geneva.

Biden is expected to propagandize against Putin by warning him against any more election interference, demanding he not murder his political opponents, and telling him to keep his grubby hands off of eastern Europe.

Putin is expected to bring up human rights in the U.S. by pointing to last summer’s anti-police riots. You’d never see anything like that in Russia, Putin will probably say. This is because demonstrations against his regime have been all but outlawed.

The issues surrounding ransomware and cybercrime will be discussed. Putin will say he can’t do anything about it, even though he and his security services profit from it. He may propose a swap of cybercriminals with Biden but that’s not expected to go anywhere.

Other points of contention between the two countries include Russia’s continued interference in Ukraine, pressure on NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
countries like Poland, Putin’s support for Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Syria, and the Russian president’s ongoing support of Russian nationalist groups in regions formerly ruled by the old Soviet Union.

#4 Russians call Biden "the American Brezhnev"

= a senile, impotent buffoon + an embarrassing symbol of the corruption and decadence of the nation's leadership

#5 Tense? Yeah no. Putin had already gotten what he wanted so nothing was required of him. He was quite relaxed. Biden not so much.

#6 I'm hearing a lot about Biden constantly losing his dice while his handlers pull mid 20's trolling gags.

Putin looked terse.

#8 Given what Putin's dossier has on Biden and Hunter, yeah, probably 'tense'.

#9 ^ this

You think the FSB hasn't hacked all the Biden family's communications?

Hunter = open door.

Can you say, КОМПРОМАТ?
