Forgive my fat finger, I already corrected that, and yes I do agree with the comment you made.

Another words the administration isent stupid enough to take the bait I’m sure any response will be well thought out measured careful factual and to the point and btw Putin is a thug and killer he is what he is 

I found all Trump supporters also support Putin and little Kim

There’s a sickening stink of ‘my enemy’s enemy’ coming from a number of People who are clearly not happy Biden won the Presidency.

Not in 2003 they hadn't.

As was Iraq before then. Takes us back to the "kings of propaganda" issue. Saddam may have been a brutal dictator but until the invasion of Kuwait he was "our dictator" useful to the West, after the invasion the western propaganda machine kicked in and suddenly he was worse than Hitler.

They were burning oil wells and slaughtering civilians.

They didn't fire up the oil wells until they got their backsides handed to them. Not sure where the "slaughtering civilians" comes from either, bit over the top exaggeration and sounds like propaganda to me.

Your really grasping here. ????

Sorry, chum, you've got the wrong war. You are in 1991, when the Americans actually encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait!!!!

But no problem, your president makes gaffes, why not you?!!

 

Another one-sided news report. 

I think Biden would do well against Putin because he calls a spade a spade. That's what has gotten under Putin's skin. Biden is elderly, and since his youth struggles with stuttering, but I would think the goodness and knowledge of the man would shine through in a debate. No that he should offer one to a dictator thug.  

You seem to use a few Fox news talking points including their quoting of sky news Australia as though it is some independent voice. Sky news Australia is a little watched news network owned by Murdoch. They have attempted to make it an Australian fox news but not many viewers are interested.

Yeah. Sorry. Shouldn't post while I'm in the car picking up remains to be shipped back home. My heads a bit messed up. Apologies.

But thanks for the polite comments. It's appreciated.

That my friend is a lie.

There are thousands of videos on Youtube and other streaming sites which show prior to about 2015 Biden was actually an excellent speaker. Fast witted, and not even the slightest whiff of a stutter. For decades and decades and decades, no trace of this lame stutter excuse for Biden's inability to speak. Why now? Are you admitting the obvious without realizing it?

 Putin would make him look a total fool, which is why Biden is running from the challenge. Note to Biden, next time you run your mouth off make sure you have the ability to back it up if you get called out. How embarrassing it is to see him unable to engage with other world leaders like this.

Boy you are making some big calls here. There are two points to what I said - one is that he is a bit elderly and one that he has suffered a stutter. I did not deny that he may have slowed down a bit due to age in recent years.

In addition he has a certain hesitancy in the way he speaks - it can make watching him a bit uncomfortable at times- but that comes from his former stutter - in his recent interview with George Stephanopolos he did stutter at one point.  So no lie thanks.

He was written off in the election campaign but did well, but not perfect,  in debates and has done well in countless interviews including the recent one above.

If someone is a bit slower it can be an asset in that they can give a more considered response. It is a pity you focus on superficialities instead of the content of what he says.

I don't think a murderous dictator could make anyone look like a fool in a debate. Biden is not like Trump who appeared to feel a kinship with his kind.

You did not dispute other things I said so it is good to see you concur.

lol, I see Biden is continuing Trump's "loose cannon" policies

You are clearly getting a little ‘heated’ in your advocacy for Putin over President of the United States Biden, here’s what you are missing in your zealous support Putin.

President Biden had absolutely no good reason to talk to Putin at this moment, certainly not on Putin’s terms.

He has a number of issues to deal with regarding Putin’s behavior, interference in two US elections and offering terrorists bounties for the murder of Americans being two of many others.

His response to Putin does not require a chat with Putin, he has at his disposal the full power of the United States Government.

Biden has clearly stated Putin has a price to pay. 

He needs say nothing else, his response is on its way.

 

How things have changed. Before Trump, Republicans see Russia and Putin as evil empire and President respectively. Now we have slavish supporters defending Putin just like Trump.

what I don't really understand (strategy wise) is the empty rhetoric against N. Korea, China and Russia all in a week or so. Unless you're going to back up the bs militarily what's the point? Sanctions obviously don't work so they're basically empty gestures..

Keeping quiet is tacit consent of someone's wrongdoing. It's an established rule of customary foreign policy. 

Biden owes putin nothing. Ignore him, duterte, rocketman etc.

Much more important issues to deal with in US.

Biden clearly can't be trusted to answer questions. Just recently joe refers to harris as President harris during a talk.

You're confused. It was the Iran-Iraq War that won US support for Saddam. At least after Saddam found himself in trouble.   But that's OK. Compared to the number and size of gaffes that Donald Trump made, you've got a long way to go to be in his league. Still, it's a pretty big one.

Think you still reminisce Trump’s US and Russia close ties. Trump gone and a new sheriff in town who is not beholden to Putin. 

Putin so elegantly mocked poor Joe on the nature of hypocracy,

the mark of a skilled statesman.
