Putin chafes at US, criticizes response to Capitol attack



MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday set a tough tone for his upcoming summit with U.S. President Joe Biden, accusing Washington of trying to contain Russia and citing its response to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as a manifestation of the West’s double standards.

Speaking at an economic forum in St. Petersburg, Putin said that arms control, global conflicts, the coronavirus pandemic and climate change are among the issues he and Biden would discuss at their June 16 summit in Geneva.

“We need to find ways of looking for a settlement in our relations, which are at an extremely low level now,” Putin said.

“We don’t have any issues with the U.S.,” he continued. “But it has an issue with us. It wants to contain our development and publicly talks about it. Economic restrictions and attempts to influence our country’s domestic politics, relying on forces they consider their allies inside Russia, stem from that.”

We have a big issue with you, you murdering piece of shit.

If your puppet would have won, democrats, reporters, and whistleblowers would have started "disappearing" like they do under you.

And if we don't keep Heritage Foundation and their paid puppets in check, it will set the stage for a monster like you to take power.

That's the amount of interest I have in Putin's opinion of anything - especially anything concerning my beloved USA.
