Putin blows up disinfo claims about Biden’s mental fitness: ‘He doesn’t let anything get by, I assure you’

U.S. conservative and Russian media alike portray President Joe Biden as doddering and mentally feeble, but Vladimir Putin says that's just not true.

The Russian president met his American counterpart Wednesday for their first summit in Geneva, and Putin knocked down speculation about Biden's fitness as a leader after a Russian senator asked if he had dementia, reported Bloomberg.

"The image of President Biden that our, and even American, media present has nothing to do with reality," Putin said. "Biden's a professional, you have to be very attentive with him so as not to miss anything. He doesn't let anything get by, I assure you."

Russian media and many on the American right have speculated the 78-year-old Biden is too old and infirm to effectively serve in the White House, and some have pointed to his use of note cards at the Geneva summit, which Putin said all world leaders do.

1. Oops!

IOW, Putin knows the pushover days are over.

[kentuck]

2. Reverse psychology.

Just mention that Biden is "stable" and tongues will start wagging.

[onetexan]

20. Thank goodness the real stable genius in occupying the WH

The Ignoramus would like putin to stroke his ego but even when sitting next to Biden, putin looks like the thug& mafia czar that he is. No integrity, no decency...which is exactly why the Con admires him. Theyre both cut from the same cloth of filth & villainy.

3. OMG! The antifa-FeeBIes have turned Putin from 45

The not-so proud boys are whimpering
The 3% have learned that they are not that many
The trump-pets' horns sound flat
Walls are actually falling
Q failed to query reality and reality is winning

So, obviously the deep state controls Russia

[getagrip_already]

9. It was all a part of our plan... bwahahahahahah!

First, elect the most incompetent, sub-human d-bag we could find and let him run amok for 4 years. Then, pull the rug out just as a the shit-gibbons and haploids show themselves to law enforcement.

Then sweep in with a cool headed expert and super-moral alpha person and vice person, and stun the world with the about face. Having putin as a plant was all a part of the plan!

And kim also!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. Even Putin was impressed?

For Joe owned him from the very start. Putin's body language showed he was not the alpha male in that room.

[wnylib]

19. Yes, it did. Putin looked like

a pouting kid in his photo.

[Aristus]

5. Putin needs the image that he's going head-to-head with a worthy opponent.

With Trump gone, it does no good now to portray the leader of the United States as a doddering, feeble old man. There's no glory in besting an opponent like that. Especially if he's not a lick-spittle lackey like TFG.

Vlad knows Joe Biden's got the stuff.

[MerryHolidays]

6. I think President Joe has been sending Vlad "messages"

There are probably a ton of things we don't know about that Putin does know about. I was really surprised at his pre-summit body language and his tone at his press conference. He clearly was not the one in command.

I have no doubt that President Biden and the US intelligence community have let Putin know, in no uncertain terms, that they are "displeased" with his stunts. I would love to know what they did to make Putin so submissive, but I am content that we are in EXCELLENT hands with President Biden.

Putin is terrified of being deposed, and if he knows the US is aiming for him, he will back off. He had four unfettered years to wreak destruction because the US was no longer the world's policeman. But that time is gone now.

RUSSIA: IF YOU'RE LISTENING, WE ARE BACK!

7. Dammed if one is and dammed if one ain't.

No winning with ЯepubliQans. No way, no how. Twisting lies into truth and truth into lies.

[SheltieLover]

8. Likely 1st honest thing pootie has ever said

One thing is certain: he is treading carefully, so far, so as to be more oftensive than he has been.

10. Rocketman did it to Dotard with just the one word.

Rocketman did it to Dotard with just the one word.

[Dopers_Greed]

12. Biden is an actual stable genius

[maddiemom]

13. BIDEN infirm? Using THAT comparison in terms of active lifestyle to TRUMP is ludicrous.

To be fair, Trump may be more fat and lazy ( his excuse being having used up his "lifetime supply of energy" during his manically active lifestyle in his younger days---as he probably remembers them), than infirm.

[PatSeg]

14. That's pretty impressive coming from an adversary

"The image of President Biden that our, and even American, media present has nothing to do with reality," Putin said. "Biden's a professional, you have to be very attentive with him so as not to miss anything. He doesn't let anything get by, I assure you."

I hope Trump heard that one! Talk about a slap in the face.

[monkeyman1]

15. trump terrorism is finally over !! his word means nothing now !! except for jail time !!

the clock is ticking now & just a matter of time ⌚. over 600 arrested & for what !! just don't make good sense .

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. So, this is interesting.

Putin has now endorsed President Biden's mental competence, which I suppose the nattering pundits and their followers on the R can dismiss...except that he offered an almost identical compliment about the previous guy. Can't have it both ways.

[tanyev]

17. Does this mean Putin is Deep State?

[uponit7771]

18. MAGA Pimp Putin says it then it must be true no doubt

[Klaralven]

21. Why would you believe Putin?

[totodeinhere]

22. I'm not sure what Putin's motives are for saying that. But I will never

trust Putin no matter what he says.

[catbyte]

23. The QAnon nuts will probably "interpret" it as some sort of secret code to lull Biden into a

false sense of security so he won't be the wiser when their God Emperor triumphantly returns to Washington in August.
