Did Putin Just Punk Biden? Look What Happened to All Those Russian Troops Supposedly Backing Down

I’m no fan of Vladimir Putin, but I feel a sinking sense of shame when I envision relations between the former KGB agent who enjoys skydiving with bald eagles or whatever and President Joe Biden, a man who is worried he’ll get in trouble with his own staff if he takes too many questions from reporters.

That’s right, yet another embarrassing — and downright chilling — aspect of the Biden presidency is that he’s now the man we need to rely on to keep relations with the Kremlin civil without putting our country even further into crippling debt. And, boy, does it look like our POTUS is geared up to fail miserably on both counts.

Earlier this week, as NATO partners were conducting military exercises in Eastern Europe, Russia left nearly 80,000 troops along its border with Ukraine despite a previous promise to withdraw them, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

In April, Moscow deployed 100,000 troops to the region to conduct its own military exercises, causing quite a bit of anxiety in the West as it exceeded the military presence that had been used to annex Crimea in 2014.

On April 22, according to Reuters, Russia announced it was withdrawing the troops, “helping to smooth preparations for a summit between Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin that Biden would like to take place next month.”

Putin is going to bitch-slap Jopedo all around the meeting room...

Worst thing is that Joe won’t even realize it...

So a thieving liar lied to another thieving liar.

Who has the moral high ground on this one?

Putin was the first world leader to call out the globalist cabal as Satanists. Tactical, maybe.

Did it need to be said. Absolutely.

A known “enemy” is sometimes better than his Replacement.

Russia is broke. Thanks be to God, to repair that condition PUTIN didn’t join up with the globalist cabal.

Putin, because he loves his country and isn't trying to cause white genocide.

And because Putin is not a pedophile.

Putin. He put his country first, has it headed in the right direction and has a deep regard for Christianity.

Russia is not broke. Russia owns half the worlds mineral wealth, is not indebted, and they have much gold.

Who has the better morale?

US or Russian military?

Slam dunk Russia. The Russians will fight for Putin and his government. Conservatives in US are demoralized and being forced out. The leftists in the military are not going to be very effective and their morale will be low once they’re punched in the mouth by a real military.

The Russian people are also very much more interested in supporting their leader and the troops. Not so much in the US. Especially when it’s to protect the Biden crime family’s financial interests in Ukraine.

Biden and US are on the wrong side of history and most people in the US can see this.

“Russia is not broke”
True. But they do not have an economy that could sustain a long occupation. They learned their lesson in Afghanistan.
Putin’s move therefore was very tactful
