Russia Slams Biden For His “Irritability, Fatigue And Forgetfulness”

Russia criticized President Joe Biden Friday for his “irritability, fatigue and forgetfulness,”  in response to Biden calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal.” Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia considers the statement that Biden made,  a “personal insult” to Putin, but won’t take the accusation seriously.

“Bearing in mind Mr. Biden’s irritability, fatigue, and forgetfulness, which eventually results in aggressive statements, we will possibly prefer to refrain from making any strong comments so as not to trigger more aggression,” Peskov continued.

Biden called Putin a “war criminal” Wednesday for invading Ukraine when responding to a question from Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich.

Biden even went a step further and described Putin as a “murderous dictator, a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine,” while speaking at the Friends of Ireland Luncheon on St. Patrick’s Day at Capitol Hill on Thursday.

A reporter pressed White House press secretary Jen Psaki Thursday about why the U.S. continues to work with Russia on the Iran nuclear deal if Biden considers Putin a “war criminal.”

“I would say that it’s not in our interest for Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, and Russia is a member of the P5+1,” Psaki responded. “So that is the pursuit of a deal that is in our national security interests.”

Biden had also called Putin a “killer” in March of 2021.
