| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Victoria Nikiforova [RIA] “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power!” — these words of Joe Biden about Vladimir Putin, spoken shortly after the start of the SVO, were firmly remembered by the public. The US leadership did not allow itself such rudeness towards the leaders of our country even at the height of the Cold War. It was clearly visible how sincerely annoyed Biden was; he simply could not control himself.
It's more about the personal duel that Biden and Putin have been waging for many years. We often underestimate the personalistic aspect of big politics. But it is governed not only by calculations, but also by human passions.
In 2011, Biden, then still vice president under Obama, brought Putin an ultimatum: not to go to the presidential elections in 2012. Otherwise, Russia would face the fate of Libya, and Putin would face the fate of Gaddafi. It was during these days that the bombing of Tripoli was discussed at the UN, and the “Arab Spring” planned in the Pentagon was blazing in the Middle East. To get the message across better, Biden, during his Moscow visit, held a meeting with the Russian opposition at Spaso House, the residence of the American ambassador, and also addressed students at Moscow State University, calling on young people for reforms and “democratization.” Abroad, they say, will help you. Putin was not afraid; he firmly put Biden in his place. At the very beginning of the negotiations, the Prime Minister suddenly attacked the US Vice President with the idea of a visa-free regime between the US and Russia. It’s interesting to see what your interlocutors look like at this moment. Putin, putting forward his unexpected proposal, can hardly contain his smile. Biden looks at him not without fear - he clearly did not expect the attack and does not know how to react. His arms are crossed and raised towards his face - this is how a boxer covers his jaw in the ring. In general, Biden’s ultimatum was not accepted, but he himself was elegantly sent. Putin ran for president and easily won the election. As an act of intimidation, the Americans destroyed Libya and broadcast the murder of Gaddafi on all television channels - sending Putin, so to speak, a signal. Then they staged performances on Bolotnaya. And nothing worked out for them. The whole world saw on live television that there was no need to be afraid of the Americans, and their orders were not to be given a damn from a high point. This was demonstrated with Joe Biden. The prediction of his fellow party member Bill Clinton came true : barely having met Putin, he warned that “we will still miss Boris (Yeltsin).” No wonder Biden holds a grudge. A separate nuisance was the fact that Putin always enjoyed the support of the vast majority of the people of Russia, but Biden was pushed into the White House “either as a carcass or as a scarecrow”: the fraud in the 2020 presidential election shocked even Americans who were accustomed to everything. As soon as he was elected, President Biden began fueling the Ukrainian conflict as a personal vendetta against President Putin. His irritation regularly burst out. In March 2021, he called his colleague a “killer.” In response, Putin wished the old man good health and proposed holding the debate “live, online, without any delays, but right in an open, direct discussion.” The video shows that the president, saying this, stands with his jacket wide open - he was then planning to fly to the taiga for the weekend - and grins slightly. It’s not hard to imagine what a senile Biden would look like, struggling to read from a teleprompter, live with Vladimir Putin. It would be a disgrace to the whole world. Washington pretended that this proposal did not exist. The meeting of leaders in Geneva three months later was held almost behind closed doors. The contrast between the smart, tough, quickly reacting Putin and the absent-minded Biden, who has little understanding of where he is and what is happening, would be too clear. However, the essence of what was happening behind the closed doors of the La Grange estate was obvious. Biden persuaded Putin to come to terms with NATO expansion to the east and was sent again. Eight months later, Putin ordered a special military operation in Ukraine. The old man was humiliated once again. "He will pay." That's all Biden can squeeze out today regarding Putin: “He will pay.” And now all the popular US media are discussing the possible assassination of Putin, the American intelligence community openly promises to deliver a “decapitating blow to the Kremlin,” and various analysts, one after another, are composing scenarios for a “military coup” in Russia. The irony is that literally everything that Biden threatened Russia with is now coming true in the United States itself. The country is divided, millions of people are seriously preparing for civil war, stocking up on firearms, discontent is brewing in the ranks of the military, the prospect of a coup has never been so real. Every Putin success ricochets back to Biden. Failure in Ukraine threatens him with impeachment, impeachment with criminal prosecution, and they will come after not only him, but also his entire family. In the coming year, the confrontation between the two leaders will increase. Both have elections soon, in Russia they will be held in March, in the USA in November. The stakes are unusually high because, in essence, Putin and Biden are waging a war for peace—for what the world order will be like in the coming decades. As they say, “we’ll see.” | ||

| #4 “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power!” Obama said something similar about Assad. |

| #3 The "old hands" who shepherded the USA through the Cold War have no equivalents in present-day Washington DC. The end of the Cold War marked the beginning of the CIA's and State Department's decent into madness. Clarity of purpose was replaced with a flailing struggle to find - a new purpose. What they have settled on is a mission to retain power at any cost? They couldn't even tell you themselves. As the saying goes, something that can't go on forever won't. The new Cold War against the founding ideals of the United States and the people who still believe in them will end poorly, perhaps for everybody, including the Russians and Chinese and the WEF crowd. Some people really need to be reminded, "Be careful what you wish for..." |

| #1 American leaders are not at all omnipotent demigods on whom the fate of the world depends. These are quite ordinary, sometimes not the smartest people. Uh, yeah, Biden never was the sharpest tool in the shed. |
