Biden spoke rudely to Putin
[Regnum] US President Joe Biden once again allowed himself a rude statement about Russian President Vladimir Putin. The American leader said this at a closed election event in San Francisco; his words were quoted by the White House journalist pool on February 21.
“We have crazy sons of bitches like this guy Putin and others, and we always have to worry about a nuclear conflict,” he said.
Biden noted that, in his opinion, climate change is an existential threat to humanity.
As Regnum reported, the current head of the White House has long allowed himself boorish attacks against colleagues, including the Russian leader. Thus, on March 16, 2022, Biden called Putin a “ war criminal.”
He also stated that Putin supposedly “cannot remain in power.” After this, the White House had to justify that a change of government in Russia is not the goal of US policy.
The Russian leader's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, noted on April 5, 2022 that Biden continues to make personal attacks against Putin. He stressed that such behavior is unacceptable and unworthy for the head of state.
Also in September 2023, Biden said that Putin does not have a “democratic bone,” and on October 19, 2023, he compared the policies of the Russian president and the actions of the Hamas movement, saying they “want to completely destroy democracy.”
On October 20, 2023, Peskov said that the Kremlin considers the rhetoric of the head of the White House unacceptable for the head of state. Putin himself, in response to Biden’s boorish attacks, wished the American leader health back in March 2021. The head of state joked that “whoever calls you names is called that himself,” clarifying that these words have a deep, psychological meaning, since people always see their own qualities in another person.
Lately, Biden, 81, has been increasingly giving his administration reasons to explain itself to the media and public. In early February, it became known that the American leader was using obscene language against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhu. According to the Western press, Biden called Netanyahu a “damn bad guy.” The US presidential administration had to issue a denial.
In December 2023, Joe Biden allowed himself to curse at a memorial service at the Washington Cathedral in memory of the first woman in history to serve on the Supreme Court, Sandra O'Connor. At the same time, judging by his own reaction, he did not intend to use obscene language: Biden immediately apologized.
Joe Biden is the oldest president in US history and constantly finds himself in various funny situations. He very often confuses the names of meeting participants, countries, cannot pronounce some words correctly, and also stumbles and is not very well oriented in space.

Zakharova advised Biden to pay attention to his son after rudeness about Putin
The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, after the boorish statements of American President Joe Biden about Russian leader Vladimir Putin, advised the head of the United States to remember his son Hunter Biden.
“The next time Joe Biden decides to use the expression “crazy son of a bitch,” let him try to remember that Americans best associate it with his own offspring,” Zakharova wrote on the Telegram channel.
Earlier on February 22, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, called Biden’s words about the Russian president shameful. The Kremlin spokesman also said that boorish statements from the US leader are unlikely to offend Putin. At the same time, he recalled that such statements addressed to the Russian leader only insult the United States itself.
This is not the first offensive statement addressed to the Russian president by Biden. He has already stated that Putin allegedly “ cannot remain in power ” and the Russian leader does not have a “democratic bone.”
Back in March 2021, Putin himself wished Biden good health in response. He also joked, saying that “whoever calls names like that is called that himself.” As the president clarified, these words have a deep meaning, since people see their own qualities in another person.
Biden is the oldest head of state in US history at 81 years old. The American leader constantly finds himself in various funny situations, falls and stumbles in public, confuses the names of countries and the names of meeting participants.

Putin responds to Biden's boorish words addressed to him
President Vladimir Putin responded on February 22 to the boorish remarks of American leader Joe Biden addressed to him. A Kremlin representative told VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin about this on February 22.
“He [Biden] couldn’t say, “Volodya, well done, you helped me a lot.” <…> This reaction is absolutely adequate,” said the Russian leader.
Putin also confirmed that Russia prefers President Biden to his predecessor Donald Trump.
Thus, on February 15, the Russian head of state said that the current head of the White House, Biden, as President of the United States, would be more beneficial for Russia than his opponent Donald Trump. At the same time, Putin clarified that Russia will work with any American leader.
As Regnum reported, on February 22, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, in a conversation with Pavel Zarubin, called Biden’s words about the Russian president shameful.

Ever the diplomat

Russian Embassy lodges a protest with the US over Biden's insults to Putin
The Russian Embassy sent a note of protest to the State Department because of US President Joe Biden's offensive remarks about Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said on February 22. The ambassador's statement was published by the press service of the Russian diplomatic mission.
“As soon as the State Department began work this morning, we sent a strong note of protest about the outrageous nature and inadmissibility of insults by the American leadership against the Russian president,” Antonov said.
He noted that the situation with insults to Putin is unlikely to be resolved with simple apologies from Washington. According to Antonov, the US authorities will not apologize. Such attacks are becoming routine as we approach the US presidential election.
The US leadership has forgotten the behests of their ancestors that humiliating statements are unacceptable. Even at the height of the Cold War, President John F. Kennedy spoke about the importance of treating Russia with respect.
“On the contrary, tabloid showdowns and obscene language, which were common in the wild West, have become commonplace here,” Antonov noted.
According to the Russian diplomat, the inappropriate tone of the American leadership shows impotence and a lack of common sense in its policy towards Russia.
As Regnum reported, Biden said on February 21 that “there are crazy sons of bitches like this guy Putin and others, and we always have to worry about a nuclear conflict.” The US President said this phrase at a closed election event.
Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called this statement boorish. Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called Biden an existential threat to the world.
The President, having learned about Biden’s words, said that the American leader’s statement was a reaction to his words that for Russia the current, more predictable head of the White House is preferable to Donald Trump. At the same time, the president emphasized that Russia is ready to work with any US president chosen by the American people.
