President Joe Biden, 78, made indefensible public remarks to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos March 16, saying that 68-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin was “soulless killer.” Stephanopoulos couldn’t believe his ears, promptly asking Joe the question again. “So you believe Putin is a killer and has no soul,” Stephanopoulos asked. Biden responded, “Mmm hmm, I do,” putting on record Biden’s gaffe, showing his lack of self-restraint or filter. One day later, Moscow recalled its U.S. Amb. Anatoy Antonvov to Russia for “consultation.” Today, After calling Putin a “soulless killer,” Putin asked Biden to hold a live joint-press conference to address bilateral and regional issues affecting U.S.-Russian relations. “I want to offer President Biden to continue our discussion on the condition that we do it live, online, without any delays but in open, direct discussion,” Putin offered.
After called a “soulless killer,” Putin wants to expose Biden for the world to see that he’s cognitively challenged, not up to any spontaneous conversation that’s not heavily managed and scripted. Biden has yet to give a Democrat-friendly Washington press news conference, something Biden’s handlers would expose his cognitive impairments. Democrats got their way with ousting Trump with universal mail-in ballots but now are stuck with a strawman in Biden, whose memory impairment prevents him from speaking in public without teleprompters or memorized talking points. Biden told Stephanopoulos that Putin would “pay a price,” for alleged election interference, including recent hacks of SolarWinds network management software that compromised the U.S. military and several key government departments. Biden responded to more U.S. intel alleging more Russian interference.
Biden has created, with his 58-year-old Secretary of State Tony Blinken, a real mess of U.S. -Russian relations. Biden was Vice President when former President Barack Obama ousted 35 Russian diplomates Dec. 31, 2016, three weeks before former President Donald Trump’s inauguration. At the time, Russian hysteria swept through Capitol Hill, claiming that the Kremlin influenced the 2016 presidential election. Even though former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton won nearly 3 million more popular votes than Trump, Democrats insisted Russia influenced the election results. U.S. intel officials couldn’t prove that Moscow changed one vote for Trump yet the same rumors of Russian election meddling persist today. If Biden really thinks Russian meddled in the 2020 election, he should thank Putin for helping him win the election.
Since Biden took office Jan. 20, he and Blinken have spent their time slamming Putin, culminating in Joe’s distasteful statements March 16. Calling one of the world’s most influential leaders a “soulless killer,” Biden showed he has no filter, whatever his private thought. Stephanopoulos baited Biden, not realizing that coaxing him to leak out his true feelings hurts U.S. national security. It’s doubtful Biden’s handlers would allow him to go one-on-one with Putin on live global TV. Biden has joined the European Union in slapping the Kremlin with new economic and travel sanctions for Putin’s treatment of 44-year-old Russian dissident Alex Navalny, currently rotting for the next three years in a Russian penal colony. However the EU or U.S. put Navalny on a pro-democracy pedestal, his arrest, conviction and jail time is an internal Russian matter, not worth wrecking U..S-EU Russian relations.
Biden believes his campaign talking points that he’s the leader of the Free World, something so obsolete, so-outdated, so out-of-touch with current global relations. No one in the EU wants Biden to pick a fight with Putin when the EU depends on Russia for 40% of its natural gas and 30% of its petroleum. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, 66, put the EU on notice that despite the current beef with Putin she would press ahead to complete the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline with Russia, 94% complete. U.S. and EU calls to cancel the pipeline after Germany in invested $11 billion would be disastrous. Tromp said it right when he said Biden was no match for Putin, China[s Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, all would run circles around him in any negotiations. Insulting Putin is not diplomacy, it’s indefensible foreign policy that hurts U.S. national security.
Now that Biden’s driven U.S-Russian relations into the ground, Putin announced today that any attempt by Bosnia and Herzegovina to join NATO would result in draconic consequences, including another Russian annexation. Obama and Biden failed to stop Putin from seizing Crimea March 1, 2024, after he watched a CIA-backed coup toppling Ukraine’s sovereign government of Kremlin-backed Viktor Yanukovych Feb. 22, 2014. If Putin decides to move on Bosnia, there’s nothing the U.S. or NATO could do to stop him short of all-out war. No one in Brussels, including tough-talking European Council President Ursula von der Leyen, would also do nothing to stop Putin. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, 34, said March 17 that Biden, unlike Trump, will hold Putin accountable. Psaki sounds reckless talking such utter rubbish about punishing Putin.
