Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is to meet President Joe Biden at a summit Wednesday, has suggested that the hundreds of people arrested for rioting at the U.S. Capitol are being subjected to “persecution for political opinions.”
...
“You are presenting it as dissent and intolerance toward dissent in Russia. We view it completely differently,” he said in an interview with NBC News broadcast Monday. He then pointed to the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington when protesters barged into the Capitol to try to halt the count of electoral votes to certify Biden’s election victory over Donald Trump.
“Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering the Congress? ... They came there with political demands,” he said.

I do not have to agree with anything Putin says in order to recognize that he is shrewd. Yes, Putin will do what ever he has to do to retain power. At the same time, he knows that Joe’s election was the result of electoral chicanery. Putin also knows what anyone in DC has known for decades: Joe is not a clever man.
This meeting between Joe and Putin is going to be one for the history books.
There won’t be any actual substantive “negotiation” with Senile Joe. In fact I am sure the pleasantries will be surprisingly pleasant. Instead, the real deals will be cut between Senile’s incompetent state, defense and treasury secretaries who will give Russia carte blanche to do whatever the hell it wants as long as it doesn’t cripple the US homeland with hacking or it’s advanced high-tech weapons.
I wonder if Joe’s brain will freeze like it did at the press conference where he just stared at the lectern.
“”This meeting between Joe and Putin is going to be one for the history books.””
I was told by my sisters BFF, that she knows this guy that’s mother was told by a friend that Putin and Trump are in fact in on this and Biden is going down! /s
Someone suggested that bidens handlers will order a stand-in for stupid joe and/or demand that no cameras be allowed. The more I read the more I’m thinking thats a real probability.
Biden crammed for the Finals and still failed miserably.
They should ask him if the German’s bombed Pearl Harbor.
The Dems cheated in their usual ways in 2016. They just did not realize how much Trump would win by and so they didn’t cheat enough to beat him. Thus, they added many unprecedented ways of election fraud in 2020.
It has already been announced that the Biden/Putin meeting will be private. With President Trump, the supposedly private meeting would be leaked immediately. Since Biden is a Democrat, we will only hear “framed” propaganda, but not a word about what really happens .... unless Putin releases it.
Well, he’s got a point. The Federal government is currently holding hundreds of political prisoners who have been denied bail for months and held in solitary confinement over misdemeanor trespassing charges.
