Putin responds to Biden threat to 'put him down'​

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday addressed a suggestion that he be “put down” made by US President Joe Biden, 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.”
“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.”

Accidental mask off moment from Biden lol.

Courtesy of Israel, our new members now have a first hand opportunity to now witness the international rules-based order heavily sanctioning and seizing assets of Israel. Putting out an international arrest warrant for Netanyahu. Blocking Israel tech exports and Israeli ships from getting insured

In addition, we are going to have a big UN resolution against it, war crimes court in Hague, massive condemnations of Israel by the US and EU countries. Special attention must be paid to the reactions of EU's president and gardener reactions etc.

Let it be known in every corner of this world that the international rules-based order applies consistently, fairly, and transparently to all countries.

Economic sanctions and asset seizures is the best the Global South can do. Nothing will happen in the UN and ICC against Israel.

If it wasn't any more apparent that the eminence grise of the West is in reality Israeli-Jewish interests, this episode should serve to remind them.


Black flags over Iranian mosques; unless something is done to defuse this situation, i don't even think Israel will remain viable as a state this century.

There is a report the US will send 100 billion dollars to UAF and Israel.

The combined procurement budget for the us army and air force (I can't imagine them sending burkes to either so I think it will only affect ground and aerial forces) is like 40-45 billion and the US defence budget will stay the same for the next few yrs. Basically this will set the US back like 2.5 years if ALL their budget goes to restocking equipment that they will give away. If this goes through it will probably take 5+ years for the US to fill up all their munitions back to 2023 levels. This is because the US won't only be spending on restocking equipment but buying new equipment. These munitions will probably include stuff that is vital for a pacific fight like PGMs, spare parts, AD etc.

Effectively China has a few years now to take the lead over the US due to the US's aid package if it goes through. During this time the US will still be rebuilding itself from the freebies its giving the world and China will be advancing relentlessly. The US has hit a pause button on its military and China hasn't.

US politicians continue to be the greatest soldiers relentlessly marching for the PRC!

Just a thought, with US committing a significant part of its forces and attention in Middle East, it could be an opening (well after the BRI forum ofc) for China to push for more gains on South China Sea. Even if it took relatively extreme measures, with what is going on in Israel nobody would have time to pay attention to it's actions

Ideal timing to discipline Philippines as well. If he is smart enough (debatable), Marcos will probably lay really low now that he knows Uncle Sam is busy somewhere else
