Kremlin hits out in response to Biden’s derogatory jab at Putin

The Kremlin said that Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough action movie character, like a cowboy from Hollywood, after he called Vladimir Putin a “crazy SOB”.

MrBiden talked about the danger of nuclear war at a public fundraising event in California on Wednesday.

In reply, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said it was a bad attempt to look like a “Hollywood cowboy. ”

He said that using that kind of language makes America look bad.

In a short talk in San Francisco, Mr Biden said: “We have to worry about people like Putin and others causing trouble, and we always have to worry about nuclear war, but the biggest danger to humanity is climate change. ”

The US president has used the offensive term before, not for the first time. In 2022, Mr. Biden accidentally used some bad language when he called a Fox News journalist a “son of a bitch” with a hot mic.

He has also said in the past that Mr Putin is a “butcher” and a “war criminal”.

The Kremlin spokesperson said it was “unlikely to go against our President, President Putin. ” “But it makes people look bad when they use those words. ”

Mr Peskov said that the comment was likely an attempt to seem like a cowboy from Hollywood. Honestly, I don’t think it can happen.

Has Mr Putin ever said anything rude to you. No, he has never done that. So, I believe that using this kind of language makes America look bad,” he said.

In California, Mr. Biden criticized Donald Trump, who he may compete against in the presidential election in November.

Mr Trump seems to be comparing himself to Alexei Navalny, the Russian political opponent who died in prison last week.

The Republican did not blame Mr. Putin for Navalny’s death, but Mr. Biden said there is no doubt that the Russian president was responsible.

MrBiden said that if he had talked about all this 10 to 15 years ago, you would have thought he was crazy.

Last week, Mr Putin surprised people when he said he would prefer Mr Biden to become president in November instead of Mr Trump.

“He knows a lot, he acts in a way that can be expected, he follows traditional political methods,” said Mr. Putin on Russian television.
