Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to U.S. counterpart Joe Biden’s claim he is a killer at a press conference on Thursday.
“I remember in my childhood, when we argued in the courtyard we used to say: it takes one to know one. And that’s not a coincidence, not just a children’s saying or joke,” Putin said, according to Reuters.
“We always see our own traits in other people and think they are like how we really are. And as a result we assess (a person’s) activities and give assessments,” he said.
“We know each other personally,” Putin said of Biden. “What would I reply to him? I would say: I wish you health. I wish you health. I say that without any irony or joke.”
Putin’s comments come after Biden said, in an interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, that the Russian president was a killer and would “pay a price” for meddling in the 2020 election, which had just been revealed in an ODNI report.
“What price must he pay?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“He will pay a price,” Biden said.
Stephanopoulos later asked: “So you know Vladimir Putin, you think he’s a killer?”
“Mmm-hmm, I do,” Biden replied.
Russian diplomats were less indifferent than Putin about those comments from the U.S. president.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, speaking before Putin at Thursday’s press conference, said the comments were unprecedented in history.
“These are really bad remarks by U.S. president. He has clearly shown that he doesn’t want to improve relations with our country,” he said, according to Reuters. “We will now proceed from that.”
In a Facebook post, Konstantin Kosachyov, the deputy chairman of parliament’s upper house, demanded an apology from Biden. He said without an apology, further action would be taken after Russia recalled its ambassador to the U.S.

Putin is holding back..waiting for the perfect moment to make his come back. When says to biden..
“I know you are but what am i?”
Putin promised President Trump that he will not meddle in the US elections...
...so what is xiden whinning about?
Putin will do less damage to the US than Slow Joe
Its clear that Slow Joe is declining fast, and was installed by a coup/conspiracy of Democrats, the Deep-State, tech oligarchs, and corrupt media
So he’s clearly a puppet and figurehead.
The question then is, exactly how controlled and scripted is he?
Oh come on Vlad!... you coulda done much better than that!...
try this one....
“Yes... i am keeler... I specially like kill peedofiles. Anyone who protect baby abuser should be kilt!.
Biden’s handlers would not have allowed dementia boy to go off leash if they didn’t want to send this sort of message. Joe is in the belligerent stage. I’m surprised he didn’t threaten to take Putin out behind the gym for a whoopin’ (and oh would that be fun to watch).
So was this design to stoke hostilities, thus to derail the Congressional Dems from reducing defense spending? Or what?
If Trump had said this about any world leader, he’d be denounced as an incompetent bungler. Biden skates, with the aid of his handlers in the MSM like Stephanapoulis.
This is a head fake to divert attention from selling out to the ChiComs. The left thrives on needing enemies.
Putin is just killing time waiting for Trump to return to the Whitehouse.
Hé could have done it on January 6 but don’t wanna hurt no kangaroos.
I wonder if leaders like Putin have any empathy for the average American? I mean, the US is an adversary politically and all; I wonder if they look at the evil and inept cabal that is in charge and then think about Main Street, USA and go , "Damn, I really feel sorry for them." before they go back to taking advantage of the situation.
Biden is supposedly mentioned in Hillary’s emails regarding Uranium One. Why not release the emails. What does Putin have to lose?
I think world leaders know he wasn’t elected. That the election was stolen by a junta of the powerful, backed up by the intelligence community and military.
And they are scared of what that means.
p
We're waiting.
BOPOTUS* must be laughing right now.
