Putin challenges Biden to Online Live Debate

Remember this started with me saying I didn't think Putin being "in New York on a January evening" would be much of a handicap in a debate against Biden. After all, he held a number of political and government positions in St Petersburg, which has a comparable winter climate.
Thanks for explaining because I was missing the point.

If the question is, which of the two is likely to be tougher in a debate - or in any other cirumstance - the answer is probably going to be Vladimir Putin.
It's perhaps an unavoidable circumstance of our differing political systems. Biden had to win a popularity contest. Putin had to be Keyser Soze.

I'm not sure which will turn out to be the more resilient form of government.

To be honest, I don't think there was a point. I was just riffing on smartcooky's idea. You'll have to ask him if there was a point.

Ha! I like the way you put it.

I'm not sure which will turn out to be the more resilient form of government.

In the long run? Ours, I'm sure. Even though there's a lot more to getting into a position where you can run for president, than merely winning popularity contests.

System versus system, I'd pick the US system any day. President versus president, though? Well. Putin is waging war against the US on a battlefield that recent US presidents seem to barely realize exists, and have no idea how to fight on it.

Biden: I acknowledge basic reality.

Putin: Debate me bro!

Biden: :rolleyes:

Conservatives: The US has fallen!
 
I'm sure I saw the best response to this somewhere else, but it was something along the lines of: If he is such a tough guy, maybe Putin could first debate Navalny.
 
Looking at the now new officially adopted and mandated Administration title I suspect that any debate (as likely as me flying to Mars ) needs to be made very quickly . Because soon the Communist VP will be shoe horned into top spot . ROFL .
Not sure which of the double act would be more embarrassing for the US . An ailing and sickly old man or a professed Communist with no experience of really anything .

You know the current vice president was a practicing attorney, a state's attorney, the district attorney of San Francisco, the California attorney general and served as a US senator prior to being elected VP right? What's in your CV? If you don't think that is experience at anything, what would you define as experience.

She seems preferably to our last VP who was the first dog in line to hump the leg of a Russian whore.
 
Run an English translation of that by me to give me a gist of what you wish to say .
OLOL.

You first:

What is your evidence for this claim?

An unknown and unliked candidate in the primaries when she polled 2% and espoused the Marxist ," Equality of Outcomes " and was considered far to the left of even Bernie .
And in context, she been surrounded by socialists and communists her entire life—beginning with her staunchly Marxist father.
Harris is the older child of two 1960s Berkeley radicals: Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher from the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, and Donald J. Harris, an economist from Jamaica.

That's not a very American way to look at her. We don't make the children answer for their parents here.

Buzzwords aside, it should be noted that she spoke for competing on the same footing--which is to say a level playing field.

Here's hoping that Biden doesn't decline to such an extent that he proposes treating covid with bleach. That would be a bad thing.
