Russian President Vladimir Putin is being driven crazy by US President Joe Biden. After four years of supporting the Trump era and without criticism, American leader Putin now faces a formidable opponent.
President Biden said in an interview on Wednesday that Putin would “pay a price” for his attack on the 2020 US election after the US intelligence community released a declassified report. When asked by ABC News if he thought the Russian president was a “murderer”, Biden said, “I do.” There is strong evidence to support this claim.
Putin’s answer?
“You need one to know one,” replied the Russian president. A Russian lawmaker demands an apology.
Russia then immediately called back its ambassador to the United States
On Thursday, Putin’s actions showed how indignant and atypically out of control Putin is.
“President Vladimir Putin responded Thursday to President Joe Biden’s description of the Russian leader as a murderer by citing America’s past and present problems, from slavery and Native American slaughter to racial injustice,” reports the AP.
Pointing out the US atomic bomb on Japan during World War II, as well as the history of Native American slavery and slaughter, he noted the painful aftermath that weighed on the United States.
“Where else would the Black Lives Matter movement come from?” he said, citing racial injustice and the murder of African Americans.
Putin seemed to threaten Biden too, given his story of allegedly poisoning opponents:

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, “There has been no such thing in history,” said CNN. He declared US-Russia relations “very bad”.
“When asked how this could affect relationships, Peskov said,” It’s perfectly clear how, “but refused to elaborate,” added CNN.
“These are very bad statements from the President of the United States. He definitely doesn’t want to improve relations with us and we will keep working on it, ”complained Peskov.
And now, in the latest evolution, Putin has invited President Biden for a live video debate, essentially a zoom call between the US and Russia.
Tom Rivers, foreign correspondent for ABC News Radio, reports that Putin wants a “live online” meeting with Biden:
#Putin just invited #Biden to join an online live television discussion. The last time the initiative came from President Biden to make the phone call. I would like to suggest that we continue our discussion, but on the condition that we do so live online. ‘

Apparently, Putin is quoting Russian President Rivers and wants a “live geopolitical debate, and soon”.
The ABC News Moscow reporter posted a Russian video of Putin.
A Google translation of the tweet reads: “Putin invited Biden to speak live: In order not to dive in absentia, I would like to suggest that we continue our discussions. But on the condition that we actually do it live – online. Without delay, but in an open, direct discussion. “
Now Putin has just invited Biden to take part in a live television debate.
“I think it would be interesting for people in Russia and the US,” he said. https://t.co/WbLgzncglE
