Vladimir Putin isn’t ready to recognize Joe Biden as the next president, says relations between Moscow and Washington are ‘already ruined’

‘We will work with anyone who has the confidence of the American people. But that confidence can only be given to a candidate whose victory has been recognized by the opposing party, or after the results are confirmed in a legitimate, legal way.’
That’s Russian President Vladimir Putin explaining to Russian state TV in an interview on Sunday why he’s not ready to acknowledge Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.

Putin, one of the few remaining global leaders not recognizing Biden as the winner of the election, was quoted by Bloomberg as basically saying he doesn’t believe it matters what he says at this point because relations between the U.S. and Moscow are “already ruined.”

Meanwhile, Trump still won’t concede and continues to push legal action to overturn the results even as some of his most loyal backers, such as former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, urge him to accept the outcome and put the country first.

He knows what's in store for him.

He gambled big and lost.

I'm wondering who among Trump's minions "knows too much"?

Is that why Rudy was sweating blood?

[orangecrush]

The telephone calls between him and Trump

Of course, the NSA has...

[RKP5637]

15. Putin's telling him what his punishment will be! He failed, he's FIRED, he's a LOSER. The mafia

[SheltieLover]

4. Putin is shitting his pants

His word means less than nothing to anyone who has been paying attention.

[orangecrush]

12. Yes

Things definitely aren't going according to plan...

[SheltieLover]

24. Sure aren't! Thankfully!

He has been rushing legislation through to give him lifetime immunity.

There was even an announcement that he was returing in January, due to Parkinsons.

Parkinson's my ass! That's what happens to your central nervous system when you have fucked over USA & it's game over!

[underpants]

[RKP5637]

9. Putin is looking forward to Trumps arrival with his final gift,

AIRFORCE 1

[orangecrush]

18. !!!

[BComplex]

35. Once we have a working intelligence service again, the secrets about what trump has done will come

out. The public may never hear about it, but it will definitely be found out by the fbi, cia, nsa, etc.

That's what Andy McCabe was referring to the other day.

[Baltimike]

11. He should be dignified and take it like a man. nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. The "opposing party" doesn't need to recognize shit. So go fuck yourself, you

platypus mouthed weirdo.

[orangecrush]

19. My thoughts exactly

He is in a predicament.

[RKP5637]

21. K&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey Putin, the US no longer takes orders from you! n/t

[Boomerproud]

28. You treat your opposing party with respect and courtesy.

Right Vladamir?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

31. He "cuddles them to death". To show how much he cares. nt

[Me.]

17. So What?

his opinion has no value here

[orangecrush]

22. Translation

"I know I'm screwed anyway, so what the hell"

[Kid Berwyn]

20. Oligarchs wonder who'll launder the loot now.

Putin’s on the hot seat.

[orangecrush]

25. I am sure

Our intelligence services, after being so disrespected at the hands of his puppet, will let bygones be bygones...

[Kid Berwyn]

30. CIA withdrew their agent in the Kremlin, worried Trump would name him.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/09/us-removed-covert-source-in-russia-due-to-safety-concerns-under-trump

IC has been on to Trump’s gangster ass from Day 1.

[orangecrush]

32. Let hell rain down

On dear old Vlad.

[Brother Mythos]

23. I can't help but wonder why Putin thinks that stance is of some benefit to him.

Vlad's policy seems like a total waste of time and energy to me.

[orangecrush]

27. He is riding the Trump train

Right off the rails.

I hate Putin, and at the same time respect his ability as a spymaster.

He must realize this will not end well for him.

[captain queeg]

26. All those people who have been saying they'd rather be Russian than democrat? Here's their chance.

Vlad can take them all. Maybe not the best and the brightest, but very easy to manipulate.

[orangecrush]

29. I will donate

To the GoFundMe and wave goodbye to them on the tarmac.

[PatSeg]

33. Oh, I don't know

I think Putin got more than his money's worth from Trump, but I think the idiot-in-chief has outlived his usefulness for the Russian. Vlad wanted our country in total disarray, our democracy fractured, and our standing in the world undermined. I think Trump exceeded Putin's initial expectations and now Biden is left to put all the pieces back together, which in Putin's mind probably makes him a weakened president.

As for Trump losing, I don't think Putin is too upset. His lapdog was getting out of control and could have been a real threat to the entire planet. Putin wanted chaos and disruption, but not total annihilation. Meanwhile, apparently he has a whole lot of republican politicians beholden to him. So the mischief and discord can continue, but minus the dangerous instability of a seriously disturbed president.

No, I think Putin is just fine with how things turned out and is probably plotting his next manipulative venture here or elsewhere throughout the world.

[orangecrush]

37. I have one word

"Blowback"

[Andy823]

38. I totally agree with you

I just hope there are investigations into those republican politicians so we can weed out the rest of the Russian enablers.

I also think trump is scared to death about what Putin might do to him to keep his mouth shut!

[orangecrush]

39. Counterintelligence investigations

Are not normally made public

The results may be seen, though.

[PatSeg]

46. Oh yes, please let there be investigations

We're not talking minor crap here, we're talking about working with a foreign adversary to undermine our democracy, our elections, and our government. This isn't some little campaign finance snafu or a suspicious stock trade. This is huge and must be addressed. Plus these people knew when they did it that it was treason. They weren't all unwitting idiot accomplices.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is scared of Putin and he should be. If you play around with Putin, you can expect to be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your miserable life. And right now Trump is of no use to Putin anymore, a dangerous place to be.

[BComplex]

34. He's probably threatened trump if he doesn't pull off his coup.

Trump is prolly scared of putie poot right about now.

[orangecrush]

40. I would be too

[Doodley]

36. Putin's lost his puppet and he's behaving like a child whose lost his teddy bear .

[orangecrush]

41. He is behaving

Like a man who has had his bluff called, and is left with nothing but bad options.

[alittlelark]

42. Too Bad, So Sad

[Chainfire]

43. Putin is losing the most valuable espionage asset in the history of the modern world.

You can be understanding of Vlad being miffed. "After all the time, after all the money, and the asshole can't beat Joe Biden, or pull of a coup?" It is time to call in the KGB, the GRU, the KKK and The NRA!

[Arne]

45. Novichok, or polonium.

Both good choices.

[Cha]

44. Has Putin ever heard of "Republicans for Biden"?

Biden is not only r"ecognized by the opposing party".. they actively worked For A Biden Victory.

So take your trump Gaslighting and shove it up your trumPuppeteer Ass, Poot.

We will work with anyone who has the confidence of the American people. But that confidence can only be given to a candidate whose victory has been recognized by the opposing party, or after the results are confirmed in a legitimate, legal way.’

[orangecrush]

47. Great point.
