Putin challenges Biden to Online Live Debate

[Steve]

It's not me who is trolling you. It's reality.

Did someone accuse you of trolling? You do seem to have trouble making a point (and answering simple questions). But trolling implies some intent and from your posts it is not clear that you have that.

He should repeat the reply the US commander at Bastogne gave to the besieging germans when asked to surrender.

Seems like a cheap PR gimmick. I'm not sure what's sillier: the idea that Biden is somehow a brave commander, surrounded by enemies, making a stand on the battlefield. Or that Biden should trivialize someone else's actual boldness for a clapback.

I can see Putin's smirking response: "I'm flattered that the US president sees debating with me as being surrounded by the armed might of the Wehrmacht. But I think perhaps he is a little too paranoid."

Am I understanding correctly that you see Putin's cheap challenge gimmick as actual boldness? Now that would be silly. This whole business is one big Putin smirk.

OLOL. No, you are not understanding correctly at all.

But I suspect that Putin has been at least as bold as General McAuliffe, once or twice in his life.

Ok thanks. That did not seem like you at all so I was surprised. My mistake.

It's not me who is trolling you. It's reality Putin, very lamely.

You're the only one taking him seriously.

Putin apparently wants more attention from Western media. Losing his puppet must have been a blow.

In regards to the OP, the word "debate" was never mentioned in the English translation provided, and the German language version does not include the word "debatte." So I wonder about the accuracy of the thread title.

I'm sure Putin likes to remind his neighbors that Russia and the U.S. are peers when it comes to their nuclear arsenals.

Is it anything like being a KGB officer in East Germany during the Cold War, or being the business manager for St Petersburg during the transfer of power from Communist Party to Oligarchs? Putin has probably survived more corrupt and ruthless acts than Biden has committed.

Evidence of these "corrupt and ruthless" acts you claim have been committed by Biden?

Why, he isn't Republican! Isn't that enough evidence?!?

So he is trying to make Biden his next "puppet" the same way. Doesn't seem to be working though. Could it be because Biden is a full-grown adult?

You won't be needing that popcorn unless you can suggest a reason why Biden would bother.

Seems this thread did not turn out the way the op wanted/expected. Does not know how to respond now. The appropriate emoji would be

What acts are you talking about? And why compare these numbers? How about the number of ruthless acts Putin has perpetrated?

Was Putin persecuted in some egregious way?

I would necessarily go that far but I'm sure he's harder to manipulate than Trump was.

Here is the relevant point translated from Russian into German:

Ich möchte Präsident Biden vorschlagen, unsere Diskussion fortzusetzen, aber unter einer Bedingung: Dass wir das live machen, online. Ohne Verzögerungen, in eier direkten, offenen Diskussion.

The term is "discussion", not "debate". Similar to what you want to "discuss" (you don't want to "discuss" anything at all) (LOL).

Can you provide the Russian source, and translate it direct to English?

*Checks thread title...checks this comment...checks thread OP...*

So you have changed your story now?

Hard to say. CE is so fond of scare quotes that the meaning of words in CE's posts are never clear. And the penchant for never answering questions means clarification is likewise never forthcoming. "Debate", "discussion", and even "president" as used in CE's posts above could mean almost anything. Sycophant and obfuscation lessons have been absorbed well.

I've provided the Russian source in the OP.

You haven't have heard of this very relevant stuff due to the quality of the media you consume.
