Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday addressed the comments made by US President Joe Biden about “putting down” Moscow, suggesting that the octogenarian American politician still has a lot to learn.
“You live, you learn. One must learn, and then there won’t be a desire to ‘put down’ anyone, since that leads to problems. One needs to learn to respect others and seek compromise,” Putin said in Beijing, where he is attending the international Belt and Road Forum.
The Russian leader was responding to a reporter who had asked for a comment on Biden’s statements, voiced in a ‘60 Minutes’ interview broadcast on Sunday by the US network CBS.
“Imagine what happens if we, in fact, unite all of Europe and Putin is finally put down where he cannot cause the kind of trouble he’s been causing,” Biden told interviewer Scott Pelley at one point, arguing that the US has “enormous opportunities to make it a better world.”
Putin’s response was more diplomatic than the reaction of his predecessor Dmitry Medvedev, who currently chairs the Russian security council. Commenting on Biden’s words on Monday, Medvedev thanked the US president for clarifying his mission, but noted that “none of this is going to happen,” because Biden has “already forgotten what he said.”
“Dementia is a useful thing,” Medvedev added.
Biden, 81, is the oldest US president to be sworn in. He has been dogged by persistent rumors about his deteriorating physical and mental health, driven by a history of mis-speaking in public.
In a CBS poll last month, only 26% of respondents said he was physically and cognitively fit for the job, and only 34% believed he would make it to the end of his second term, if re-elected in 2024.
At a campaign event in Pennsylvania in early September, Biden argued that his advanced years were actually an asset, because “the only thing that comes with age is a little bit of wisdom.” (RT)

Resident Biden’s awful, but the jury’s out on who Putin really is, or is working for.
He’s working for his country. Novel concept, I know.
I wish we had one like him

Anon and Iska, Had to give you both an upvote. Iska, your omment strikes a chord with all loyal Americans who can see we have a retard in the Oval Office. We NEED better and I don’t see better on deck.
Anon, you’re unsure about Putin. For good reason I’d say.
After Jesus’ forty day fast in the desert, Satan took him to a high place and showed him all the future kingdoms with their might. “I will give you all these, for they are mine to give, if you will worship me.”
Is there any leader of a powerful nation that hasn’t worshiped Satan? There may be, IDK, but I concur with your hesitancy because IDK.
“A little bit of wisdom.” Not always. Sometimes never. Like now.
“the only thing that comes with age is a little bit of wisdom.”
True but I don’t think Joe has much time left to wait for it to arrive.
Biden has always been an ass. The world needs more like Putin.
That stupid old codger is gonna get us all killed.
I figured Obama chose the dumbest white man he could find so people wouldn’t want to assassinate him. Biden is even dumber now than when he was VP.
“Biden is even dumber now than when he was VP.”
And that’s saying something.
Dementia is a hell of a thing.
And to manage to pick an even WORSE veep so you REALLY don’t want the Pres. to keel over!…..quite a feat!?…..maybe not,a lot of stupid whores in politics.
Corrosion and corruption have consequences.
No freakin way the media recognized a “history”…….,it’s just not what they do!……
Maybe next week-in his spare time-Joey can bop down to the border and fix things there. Nothing a couple hundred billion wouldn’t fix. Hel’ls bells, he should be a shoo-in for the Nobel Peace prize then.
Medvedev had the balls to say what every “leader” is thinking. Go Medvedev!
PS. And Go Putin to be measured enough in the event Bidet’s dementia is staged.
I find myself rootin’ for Putin on occasion.

“You live, you learn” An old Russian proverb for Fuck around, Find out.
“Dementia is a useful thing,” LMFAO.
Those Ruskies have my kind of humor. Go Puty Pute.
