Biden’s verbal attacks have been intensifying. Last week, the official said that the death of opponent Alexei Navalny was due to “Putin and his thugs”

US President Joe Biden insulted his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin during a fundraising event in San Francisco, California, on Wednesday.

In the eyes of the head of state, Putin is a “crazy son of a bitch” who leaves the world on alert in the face of a possible nuclear threat. “This is the ultimate existential threat.

It is the weather. We have a crazy son of a bitch like Putin and others, and we always have to be worried regarding a nuclear conflict,” said Biden, quoted by Reuters.

However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov considered that the US president’s statements might be seen as an attempt by the head of state to resemble a “Hollywood cowboy”, which “degrades” him.

“The use of such language once morest the head of another state by the President of the United States is unlikely to harm our President, President Putin.

But this degrades those who use this vocabulary”, he said, quoted by the same outlet. It should be noted that Biden’s verbal attacks have been intensifying.

Last week, the official said that the death of opponent Alexei Navalny was due to “Putin and his thugs”, even though the Russian presidency denied any involvement.

On Tuesday, the American head of state said that the United States will announce a large package of sanctions once morest Russia, not only due to Navalny’s death, but also due to the war in Ukraine, which has been going on for almost two years.

Navalny, one of Vladimir Putin’s main critics, died in prison, according to Russia’s federal penitentiary service.

The 47-year-old Russian opponent, who was in an Arctic prison to serve a 19-year prison sentence under a “special regime”, reportedly felt unwell following a walk and lost consciousness.
