Vladimir Putin Ups the Ante, Challenges Joe Biden to a Live, Public Debate: “Without Any Delays” – Biden Declines
Russian President Vladimir Putin upped the ante on Thursday and challenged Joe Biden to a live debate.
Stolen elections have consequences.
The whole world knows Joe Biden has dementia and that we have no true leadership.
The dustup with Russia started earlier this week when Joe Biden threatened Putin and called him a ‘killer with no soul’ during an interview with George Stephanopoulos.
A few hours after Biden’s interview with Stephanopoulos aired where he threatened Putin, Russia recalled its ambassador to the United States, a sign relations are strained between the US and Russia.
Putin hit back at Biden for calling him a “killer” and said ‘it takes one to know one.’
Biden’s gaffes and dementia already appear to be escalating the US’s relationship with Russia in a bad way.
One Russian leader took it a step further blaming Biden’s remarks on his dementia.
Andrei Turchak, the leader of the main pro-Kremlin United Russia party, described Biden’s remarks as a reflection of “the U.S. political marasmus and its leader’s dementia.” Fox News reported.
Now this…
Putin upped the ante and challenged dementia Joe to a live, public debate knowing full well he is incapable because of his cognitive decline.
“I’ve just thought of this now,” Putin told a Russian state TV reporter. “I want to propose to President Biden to continue our discussion, but on the condition that we do it basically live, as it’s called, without any delays and directly in an open, direct discussion,” Putin said. “I don’t want to put this off for long. I want to go the taiga this weekend to relax a little. So we could do it tomorrow or Monday. We are ready at any time convenient for the American side.”
Putin continued, “it seems to me that would be interesting for the people of Russia and for the people of the United States.”
“With regard to my U.S. colleague’s remark, we have, indeed, as he said, met in person. What would I tell him? I would say ‘stay healthy.’ I wish him good health,” Putin said, adding. “I am saying this without irony or tongue in cheek.”
Update: The New York Post reported that Joe Biden declined Putin’s challenge to a debate and said Biden is “quite busy.”
Just like Barack Obama said, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up.”

President Biden made some media eyes roll on Tuesday after repeating an oft-told story: that he told Russian leader Vladimir Putin to his face in 2011 that he didn't have a soul.
ABC News' George Stephanopoulos asked Biden about Putin during a wide-ranging interivew, where Biden also said Putin was a "killer" and would "pay a price" for interfering in U.S. elections.
Biden also claimed he had looked Putin in his eyes and said he didn't have a "soul," to which Putin replied, "we understand each other."
A year later, however, Biden thrashed 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney for calling Russia the top geopolitical foe for the United States. Biden said Romney was in a "Cold War mindset," while then-President Barack Obama told Russia at the time he would have greater "flexibility" to work with the country after his election.
"No chance this is a thing that happened in real life," the Hudson Institute's Rebecca Heinrichs tweeted of Biden's story.
Some outlets were more credulous, however, with The Daily Beast describing Biden as "pretty extraordinarily frank" about his Russian counterpart.
Biden has been rapped by the media before for telling self-serving anecdotes that are either demonstrably wrong or highly unlikely. This includes bungling numerous details in an apocryphal story of giving a medal to a serviceman for heroism in Afghanistan, a false claim he was once "arrested" while trying to see Nelson Mandela in South Africa, and a claim he saw two men kissing in Wilmington, Del., in 1959, to which he said his father told him, "Joey, they love each other."
Biden would go on to oppose gay marriage politically until 2012, but he told the story after the Obama administration flipped its stance and the Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage was legal in 2015.
