On Thursday, the Kremlin reacted to Joe Biden’s attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that such language “demeans America itself”, according to Reuters. It will be recalled that the American president called Putin a “crazy scoundrel”, drawing attention to the risk of nuclear war.

• “The use of such language by the president of the United States against the head of another state is unlikely to affect our president, President Putin. But it humiliates those who use such language,” Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov responded, citing Reuters.

Peskov said that this remark was “probably an attempt to look like a Hollywood cowboy.” “But I honestly don’t think it’s possible.”

• “Has Mr. Putin ever used a rude word against you? This has never happened. Therefore, I believe that such vocabulary humiliates America itself,” the Kremlin spokesman added.

“Crazy Freak”

Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “crazy scoundrel” during a meeting with Democratic donors in San Francisco, California, on Wednesday as he also savaged his rival Donald Trump.

• “Climate change is an existential threat.
• There is that crazy bastard Putin, there are others, and we always have to worry about nuclear war, but the existential threat to humanity is climate change,” said the 81-year-old Democratic president, who is running for a second term.

In the English language, Joe Biden used the three letters “SOB”, short for “son of a bitch”, an offensive word that can be translated as “bastard”, “bastard” or even “son of a bitch”.

The American president had previously called his Russian colleague a “butcher” and a “war criminal.”

Biden promised on Friday to announce “major” sanctions against Russia in response to the death of Alexei Navalny.
