Putin

The US aren't remotely worried by Putin, he's just an irritant to them with little actual threat, he knows they know and is constantly trying to stay relevant now his pet poodle Trump has gone. Biden can more or less laugh in his face.

Bit of a silly question anyway, Trump was President when the Capitol attack happened, I imagine Biden will tell him to shut the fuck up and do what I tell you or we'll choke your already bankrupt nation even further.
 
The big problem with Putins' approach to all that crap is that no one knows how many opponents etc he's had killed/put in jail or even tortured.
That is the problem with a one party state and government.

We really do see the world in a different view.
 
What that Putin hits back against Biden ? Why not. Do you believe the nasty conspiracy theorists are playing games with the dubbing to cause trouble ?
 
Don’t tell me you wouldn’t like to be in the room when they met to see what really gets said and how they really are with each other.

I think your political intuition is wrong on this one. Putin is a major threat:a threat to his people, a threat to his neighbours in the Baltic and around the Black and Caspian seas and a threat to NATO countries with his digital espionage and KGB poisoning activities.
He's a menace to the world and needs slapping down.

Precisely, but he's far from the existential threat some people believe, he absolutely knows just how far to push it without serious repercussions, he's playing at still being a superpower which they haven't been since the early 90s.
 
Bend it like Suddick said:
The problem is not Putin in isolation, but the gradual bonding of the Chinese and Russian Nations.

Two totally in charge of everything that goes on in their respective nations.
They both need a concerted revolution against them.
Unfortunately, they each have so much power it will not happen.

China, spot on. Russia, less so. Once Putin goes I think cracks will open up in the ruling elite. It no longer has a huge party machine behind it, unlike China.
 
Putin is a lot more risk averse and less the macho adventurer than people realise. He tries to play the ` bad boy don`t tangle with me` maverick, but only when he is confident of predicting the outcome. He wants safe choices with guaranteed success. By nature he is cautious and avoids tough decisions because he knows his limits and how far he can provoke the west.

He is also not as secure as people may think he is; the National Domestic Guard is twice the size of the UK forces - probably out of necessity. He also may have a personal problem when he relinquishes power and becomes vulnerable.

He'll die in power. He's an egotist and supremely introverted.
