City-Data wanna-be political/current events pundits, keep it going! You make me laugh every day.

He/she sounds exactly like certain Ukrainians out there, talking about Russia.

All hot air, not much substance to their outlook.

This does not in any way mean Biden wouldn't know Putin is capable of that. It'd be naive of him to think otherwise.

Biden too has blood on his hands, just as Obama does, for what they did in Libya and in Syria. If media, the left, and every C-D poster who hates Trump had any shred of intellectual honesty plus a healthy grasp of the facts, they would all agree with this.

That, however, isn't the case. Historical illiteracy is rampant in this country, and this post of yours, along with several others on this thread and hundreds of others on C-D, are proof. It makes me cringe that people can be so clueless about what's happening here and abroad.
Putin when he heard what Biden called him, said it takes a killer to know a killer. Biden did say that Putin knows him. Hmmmm

They attempted to interfere in our elections in 2016 and 2020
They are guilty of a massive hacking of secret US government and corporate networks
Putin has anyone who opposes him jailed and/or poisoned

Other than that, they are fine

Well done, you demented old fool. Tensions have been stirred up again, needlessly.
The defense companies are happy though. Why can't we just do what Trump wanted to do -- stop worrying about other countries, and focus on THIS one?

Well done, you TDS deranged people who put this guy into office.

Putin is a killer and a bad guy. Nobody would dispute it. But why get the Russians angry for no reason?
This is why it is not wise to have a demented man in the office of the president.

Landmass doesn’t equate power.

Nor does total nukes. Russia has a lot of old stuff that we’d have recycled by nks.

And they’re also not going to use said nukes, as it would ensure their destruction. It really only prevents us from invading them, but that’s not how the world works anymore.

Still don’t matter on the world stage. They’re have beens. Russia as a super power died with the USSR.

Time to update your software (and may be hardware too.)

You prefer a president that shares internal voting polls with Russian Intel to launch a disinformation campaign to win an election?

Read some source documents....this is fact. And Putin is a two bit ten pot dictator that's a menace to the world and needs a good swift kick in the a**

https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/...rt_volume5.pdf

Why was Trump's campaign manager a Russian Intelligence Asset....by the way this report was written by a GOP controlled Senate....this starts on page vi

Quote:
Paul Manafort

(U) Prior to joining the Trump Campaign in March 2016 and continuing throughout his
time 6n the Campaign, Manafort directly and indirectly communicated with Kilimnik, Deripaska,
and the pro-Russian oligarchs in Ukraine. On numerous occasions, Manafort sought to secretly
share internal Campaign information with Kilimnik. The Committee was unable to reliably
determine why Manafort shared sensitive internal polling data or Campaign strategy with
Kilimnik or with whom Kilimnik further shared that information. The Committee had limited
insight into Kilimnik's communications with Manafort and into Kilimnik's communications with
other individuals connected to Russian influence operations, all of whom used communications
security practices. The Committee obtained some information suggesting Kilimnik may have
been connected to the GRU's hack and leak operation targeting the 2016 U.S. election.

(U) The Committee found that Manafort's presence on the Campaign at;td proximity to
Trump created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and
acquire confidential information on, the Trump Campaign. Taken as a whole, Manafort's highlevel access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the
Russian intelligence services, particularly Kilimnik and associates of Oleg Deripaska,
represented a grave counterintelligence threat.

Russia Russia Russia
Biden is such an idiot.

He approaches international relations like he is still fighting "Corn Pop" (in his mind) when he was a youth.

Just what we need- a demented fool threatening a nuclear power with childish comments.
