Kremlin says Biden's comments about Putin are 'unacceptable and unforgivable' - Tass

Source: Reuters

March 16 (Reuters) - Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday said U.S. President Joe Biden's characterization of Russian leader Vladimir Putin as a war criminal was "unacceptable and unforgivable rhetoric", Tass news agency said.

Biden, referring to Putin, told reporters in Washington that "He is a war criminal". (Reporting by David Ljunggren)

Iraq was based on the bush WMD lie, and it is not too much different than Putin's lie for invading Ukraine.

I am not surprised the press haven't brought it up yet, since they were co-conspirators, but I am a little surprised that Putin didn't try to throw that back in our face. Then again, if he did that, he would be admitting his invasion of Ukraine was based on a lie.

Remembering the Jon Stewart interview with Judith Miller, and her unbelievable lame excuse why the NY Times couldn't present the full facts about Iraq and the WMDs:

“All journalists are manipulated and all politicians lie.”

Putin just wanted to liberate the Russian citizens in Ukraine from the oppressive locals.

He brought in guns and soldiers and tanks just in case of 'civil unrest'.

But you Americans had to notice, didn't you? And complain? And now, the name calling?

All a bit much for a sensitive soul like Putin!

Then again, it it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, acts like a duck, walks like a duck . . . it probably is a duck.

But . . . 'unacceptable and unforgivable'?

Fair enough, don't accept, don't forgive. See if the USA and the rest of the world care about that.

. . . but I think Tass is catering to the masses of low information Russian citizens more than anyone else.

"Unacceptable and unforgivable rhetoric"

What does he want to be called? A savior? A hero?

Thank you Joe Biden for calling him what he is. A War Criminal.

When his horrendous barbarism is finally put to an end, I hope Vald knows he will never again be able to set foot in a European country, the US, Canada, and many other civilized nations on Planet Earth. As long as he is alive, Russia should never again be part of the United Nations. He is a pariah. He is Hitler incarnate. His life will be in jeopardy 24/7. Any nation or company doing business with Russia will also feel the wrath of the civilized world. No world sporting events should ever again be played in Russia. As long as he is alive the sanctions should never be lifted from the backs of the Russian people. They will, unfortunately, pay for his sins and all the lives he so heartlessly and cruelly ended until the day he no longer walks on this Earth,

Even if Russia pulled out of Ukraine right now, things will never go back to the way they were as long as Putin calls the shots.

Maybe if he gets dumped in an unmarked grave with a bullet in his head, or is serving time in The Hague, then Biden will pick up the phone and talk to the new guy running your shitty country.
