Putin praises Biden as ‘skilful, professional, across his brief’
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised Joe Biden and said Moscow is ready for further talks with Washington in comments made a day after meeting his US counterpart in Geneva.
“We are ready to continue this dialogue to the same extent as the American side is,” Putin said after he returned home from Wednesday’s meeting, speaking to university graduates by video link.
Putin, 68, had only warm words for Biden, 78, in contrast to Russian state media which has sometimes portrayed the US president as struggling to do his job both physically and mentally.
Putin described the ambience of the talks as friendly and praised Biden’s professionalism. He said the US leader knew what he wanted to achieve and acted “skilfully”.
“I want to say that the image of President Biden that our press and even the American press paints has nothing in common with reality,” Putin told the graduates.
“He was on a long trip, had flown across the Ocean, and had to contend with jet lag and the time difference. When I fly it takes its toll. But he looked cheerful, we spoke face-to-face for two or maybe more hours. He’s completely across his brief.
“Biden is a professional, and you have to be very careful in working with him to make sure you don’t miss anything. He doesn’t miss anything, I can assure you.”

OK ... who is a fan of Putin now and who is now a detractor ... ?
It would appear, you.
Do digress ... please! Some fun would be good ... I can smear my body with bacon if that would help ... you dog you. Woof! No? Oh well Greg is here, you can play with him. Meow!
I just hope Putin isn't blowing smoke up some one's ass
Always possible, but I'm guessing he believes that Trump is history.
Unlike Trump, President Biden does not have an ego to feed. If what Putin said is meant to be a compliment, Biden will take it as one. He will not blow up social media praising himself over what Putin said. I have a feeling though after hearing it, he was thinking...."You better believe it. There is a new sheriff in town."
Amazing! Liberals praising Putie and believing his every lie!
Care to point out a comment doing that?
He can't-- because there isn't!
Opps there just might be a lot of pearl-clutching going on right now.
