Vladimir Putin denies Alexei Navalny assassination attempt, cyber crime
[NYPOST] Saying, "I’m surprised we have not yet been accused of provoking the Black Lives Matter movement," Russian 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...
brushed off serious accusations made by the US against Russia, including election interference, cybercrime and the detention and attempted liquidation of dissident Alexei Navalny.

Ahead of his summit Wednesday with President Joe 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.......
in Geneva, the Russian leader told NBC News that American allegations that Russian hackers or the Kremlin itself were behind cyberattacks in the US were "farcical."

"We have been accused of all kinds of things," Putin told the network. "Election interference, cyberattacks and so on and so forth. And not once, not once, not one time, did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof. Just unfounded accusations."

He added: "I’m surprised that we have not yet been accused of provoking the Black Lives Matter movement."
A fair accusation.

#2  The meeting tomorrow is a national security threat. Putin is simply going to see first hand how far POTUS's dementia has progressed.
