Vladimir Putin has responded to President Biden's recent remarks, where Biden referred to him as a 'crazy SOB.' Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, criticized Biden's comment, labeling it as rude and shameful to the United States. Peskov also suggested that Biden was attempting to portray himself as a Hollywood cowboy but failing in his efforts.
The exchange of words between the leaders of the two largest nuclear powers in the world has escalated tensions, resembling a schoolyard squabble. This comes at a time when a US-Russian dual citizen has been detained in Russia on charges of treason, potentially facing a lengthy prison sentence. The detainment of multiple Americans, including individuals like Paul Whelan, a former Marine, and Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter, has raised concerns.
Some analysts speculate that these detentions could be a strategic move by Russia to gather leverage for future negotiations with the United States. The situation highlights the fragile state of relations between the two countries and the complex dynamics at play.
