I think the Russians just admitted something important here. Can you see what it is?

The Russians are obsessed—OBSESSED—with the idea of Biden debating Putin. They argue that the whole world should be involved in electing the U.S. president.

I've never seen photos of Putin with sunglasses & yet here he is, sporting them. And yet Biden, who is known for his aviator shades, is portrayed without.

Since when did American Presidents start debating foreign leaders?

All that comes to mind is that cartoon show, or puppet show, world leader smackdown, but it was satire....

To what end? Is there going to be a ruler of the world election I'm unaware of? Can I get a mail in ballot?

Sorry Putin, your days of ordering the President of the United States around and having a direct pipeline into the Oval Office are over. President Biden doesn't dance to your tune the way the former guy did. He's also a little more appreciative of national security that the former guy, who spent four years stabbing out tweets with his stubby little thumbs on his unsecure personal phone.

You absolutely should miss the unfettered access you had to the highest levels of the American government, but too bad, so sad, those days are gone forever.

Now he's reeling a bit PR-wise because suddenly he's back to being dismissed as a thug dictator of a non-world power country.

Like Trump, his tough-guy image is everything, so anything that cuts him down publicly is a big problem.

The only reason Russia is even a conversation point is because they inherited the nuclear arsenal of the Soviet Union. They are a regional menace at best, who thinks that they can become a superpower again.

The unfortunate thing is that they have a bunch of willing idiots in our own government who would sell the US out for White Supremacy. Traitors like Ron Johnson, Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump, and others who are willing to sell their people out.

Putin is too chicken sh*t. Had to try to kill him and then had him locked up rather than face him as an opponent.
