President Biden claimed Thursday that he has “known” Vladimir Putin “for over 40 years” — despite Russia’s president having served as an undercover KGB intelligence officer through the entire 1980s.
“I’ve known him for over 40 years. He’s concerned me for 40 years. He’s not a decent man,” Biden, 81, told ABC News anchor David Muir during an interview in France at the Normandy American Cemetery to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Putin worked as an intelligence officer in the Soviet Union’s spy network from 1975 to 1991, with postings in his hometown of St. Petersburg and the former East Germany before he retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel — making it highly unlikely Biden was aware of the future US adversary’s existence as early as he claimed.

They were Soviet agents together.
No, it’s probably true.
I know a guy or two who has known Putin for decades as well.
Dr. Jack Wheeler for one and the other’s I’ll leave silent.
Dr. Jack Wheeler is famously known for creating opportunities to send arms and missiles to the Mujahadeen to fight the Soviets.
He also met Putin several times in the intervening years

That’s true, but neither are you, Joe. Neither are you.
(And over 40 years, Joe? Really?)
I loathe Biden.
But in this case he might be speaking to that he knew of Putin while Biden was in the Senate and privy to sensitive information.
Of course, he’s leaking classified information with this comment. But he might be saying something of substance.
Maybe.
That is why Putin thinks Biden is a joke.
Was that before or after he drove an 18-wheeler?
This may be one of his most credible claims in years.
Him and Corp Pop were bad dudes..........................
Wicked! DUDE !
Biden knew Stalin when Stalin was Koba the commie bank robber
Koba
good book by Martin Amis

Indeed notice Biden NEVER says a bad word about Xi or China.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Putin must have refused his deals?.
Any old sleepy politician screeching angrily at those will out live him.
Maybe Joe can swing by the The Netherlands and schedule his own euthanasia.
