Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 22 reacted to his US counterpart, Joe Biden, using a critical word to call him.
In a speech about threats to the world today, the US President made a comment calling Mr. Putin “crazy SOB” (roughly translated as crazy), a heavily critical phrase.
When asked by Russian state television about the “crude” comment from the US President, Mr. Putin smiled sarcastically. “We are ready to work with any president. But I believe that for us, Mr. Biden is a president more favored by Russia and judging by what he just said, I am absolutely right,” Mr. Putin said.
Russian Ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, emphasized that he had sent the US State Department “a strong protest note about the outrageous and unacceptable nature” of Mr. Biden’s comments.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin said that Mr. Biden had lowered America’s position with his remarks.
Many other senior Russian officials also reacted violently to Mr. Biden’s remarks.
