Biden says 'killer' Vladimir Putin 'will pay a price' for election meddling
2021-03-18
[NYPOST] In an interview Wednesday, President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.......
said he believes President 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...
is "a killer," vowing that the Russian would "pay a price" for his US election meddling efforts.The commander-in-chief made the remarks to ABC’s "Good Morning America" after being asked about a report from the office of the Director of National Intelligence that implicated the Kremlin in efforts to undermine US elections and divide American society.

"He will pay a price. We had a long talk, he and I, I know him relatively well," the 46th president said. "And the conversation started off, I said, ’I know you and you know me. If I establish this occurred, then be prepared.'"

Asked by "GMA" anchor George Stephanopoulos about his previous comment that he did not believe the Russian president had a soul, Biden confirmed those remarks.

"I did say that to him, yes, and his response was, ’We understand one another.’ I wasn’t being a wise guy, I was alone with him in his office and that’s how it came about."



Joe Biden backing 'Putin is a killer' claim is 'tantrum of powerlessness'
[RT] Explosive comments made by US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
, in which he suggested his Russian counterpart is "a killer," have ignited a diplomatic row, as Moscow’s chief parliamentarian said the remarks constitute an attack on the country.

In a statement posted to Telegram, the speaker of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said that "Biden has insulted the citizens of our country with his statement" about Vladimir Putin. "This is a tantrum that comes from powerlessness. Putin is our president, attacking him is an attack on our country," he added.

Volodin contrasted the tone of the criticism to that of previous US presidents, who, despite often overseeing tense relations with Russia, and the USSR before it, maintained mutual respect. Even former president Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
, he claimed, "despite the decisions that were being made on sanctions, maintained rhetoric appropriate to the level of head of state."

However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
he argued, "Biden’s statement today is beyond common sense. This is no way for the leader of a country that claims to be a bearer of democratic principles and morality to behave."

The American president made the remarks in an interview on Wednesday with the ABC news channel. He was asked by chief anchor George Stephanopoulos whether he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin was "a killer.""Mmm-hmm, I do," Biden replied.

Biden said he had warned Putin earlier this year that he would take action if evidence was found of Russian interference in the 2020 US election. "He will pay a price," Biden said. "We had a long talk, he and I ... I know him relatively well. And the conversation started off, and I said, ’I know you and you know me. If I establish this occurred, then be prepared.’"

Earlier this week, a joint report by Washington’s spy agencies declared that Russia had attempted to influence the 2020 vote with the aim of "denigrating President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family......
’s candidacy and the Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
, supporting former President Trump, undermining public confidence in the electoral process, and exacerbating sociopolitical divisions in the US."

#11  Joe's one of these pathetic old guys who still thinks he's a tough guy in his own mind. If he didn't have security around him for most of the last fifty years, somebody would've kicked his ass a long time ago.

#6  "I know him relatively well"

No you don't, you pathetic fabulist. You met him once. But Putin understands you and your weaseling assholery better than you will ever understand him.

Putin ran rings around your old boss, that other empty suit, and he'll wrongfoot you without you even knowing it.

#5  Such a tough guy. This is the blithering BS artist who threatened to take Trump outside for a fistfight, the asshole who fabricates imaginary tough buddies and rough episodes.

The Russians and Chinese are laughing at us now. They mock Biden. Russians call him "American Brezhnev."

#1  It's what, 200 miles from NATO territory in Estonia to Moscow? Easy-peasy. A quick regime change, just like Iraq.

And yes, for the naysayers, we will be bringing winter coats this time.
