I'll believe Abramovich's poisoning when I see solid evidence. It sounds like just the PR scheme he'd hatch to distance himself from Putin and rehabilitate his image. It could be true, but there was a lack of scrutiny about the reporting, although a Ukrainian MP was also mentioned. Not that Putin needs an excuse to poison people, of course.

Fair enough if it's a pattern, but something like this is not about a trivial act of senility. And it could still end up being depicted as anything from a mistake to an ingenious strategy to an irrelevancy, which tells you how meaningless it really is.
Far more likely is this absolutely iron-clad universal: people fixate on one or another thing to make themselves feel in control.
Don't get me wrong. I definitely agree the risk is Biden using this for domestic electoral advantage, but there has to be more than an Oscar's moment or the odd slip up to evidence that at a dangerous level. Everyone uses every opportunity somewhat; but what you're looking for is a pattern that is beyond the scope of sane risk management.

The Guardian just reported Putin said: "The US will make profits from global instability and solve its problems at the expense of others."
I'm no friend of US history, but honestly, has the bloke ever seen a mirror or has he cracked them all like the vampire he is? He really is Trump-level delusive.

Being a hypocrite doesn’t mean he’s wrong, though.
On Biden, if it was one gaffe you could brush it off, but this seems to be a deliberate approach on his part. It just makes you wonder whether he’s in over his head.

Yep, Putin's comment was an accurate one.

You aren't watching Collingwood play. You shouldn't be barracking for a side but analysing each point on it's own merits.

Putin is a pathological liar like his mate Trump.Those sort of people are best ignored.They have nothing constructive to give to the world. |

Perhaps not, but I’m not sure ignoring them is an option.

There's always a reason for mass murderer Count Grievance.
We know Biden's increasingly senile, but on this, like his withdrawal from Afghanistan, I can't really see where he's gone too far wrong.
