Putin Replies Biden On Killer Insult: ‘It Takes One To Know One’ by Nobody: 3:39pm On Mar 18, 2021
Russian President Vladimir Putin fired back at American counterpart Joe Biden’s accusation that he’s a killer, saying “it takes one to know one” as he insisted the U.S. will have to take Russia’s interests into account despite insults.

“I would say to him: I wish you good health,” Putin said Thursday, asked for his response during a televised videoconference celebrating the anniversary of Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea. He said Moscow would continue to work with Washington in areas of common interest, even as he claimed there were sharp, even biological, differences between Russians and Americans.

“Although they think we are the same as them, we are different people, we have a different genetic and cultural-moral code,” Putin said, citing slavery and the U.S. use of nuclear weapons in World War II. “But we know how to defend our own interests, and we will work with them but in those areas in which we are interested and on terms we consider favorable for us. And they will have to reckon with that.”

Other Russian officials talked tougher, but there was no immediate indication the Kremlin planned to go beyond its initial response of recalling its ambassador from Washington.

Konstantin Kosachyov, deputy speaker of Russia’s upper house of parliament demanded an apology from Biden for his “boorish” allegations. The U.S. president’s remark is a “watershed” in relations and “unacceptable in any circumstances,” Kosachyov wrote on Facebook Thursday.

Late Wednesday, the Foreign Ministry announced it was summoning Ambassador Anatoly Antonov for consultations. Warning of the risks of “an irreversible deterioration in relations” with the new U.S. administration, the ministry said Russia still hopes to reverse the downward spiral.

“Putin’s initial reaction showed there is no desire to go along the path of escalation,” said Andrey Kortunov, head of the Kremlin-founded Russian International Affairs Council. “The Russian side is willing to put it behind it as long as there aren’t any more such inflammatory statements in the future.”

The diplomatic demarche came after Biden agreed with ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview that Putin was a killer and said the Russian leader would “pay a price” for alleged meddling in U.S. elections.

Agree that Russia recalling Amb. Antonov from Washington is not a crisis. It is the consequence of bad relations, mainly due to Putin's aggression against the US, Europe, and some of Russia's neighbors (and his own people).

Biden’s comments, recorded Tuesday, came the same day as a U.S. intelligence community report that Putin ordered influence operations to hurt his candidacy in the 2020 election, favoring former President Donald Trump just as the intelligence community says the Russian leader did in 2016 against then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The Kremlin denies any interference.

The ruble slipped against the dollar after Putin’s comments Thursday as other emerging-markets currencies also fell. The Russian currency had dropped to the lowest in a week a day earlier.

Russian attempts to legitimize its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine “are not, and will not be, recognized,” foreign ministers of the Group of Seven of leading democracies, which expelled Russia from its ranks over the crisis, said in a joint statement Thursday. The G-7 “remains fully committed to the implementation of sanctions” over Crimea and Russia’s backing for separatists in the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

Amid the rhetorical exchanges, however, the U.S. and Russia were working together to persuade the Afghan government to share power with the Taliban at an international conference in Moscow. U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, was at Thursday’s talks hosted by Russia that included representatives of the warring Afghan sides as well as regional powers.

Many officials in Putin’s government and associates of the Russian leader already live under U.S. sanctions due to previous rounds of punishment for election interference, attacks on political opponents and the annexation of Crimea, limiting Biden’s options for fresh targets.

New U.S. sanctions could come as soon as next week and may target Russia’s oligarchs and others close to Putin, according to two people familiar with the matter. The impact of the penalties may be muted, as Russians hit with U.S. sanctions usually don’t maintain western bank accounts or have plans to travel to the country.

NO REGRETS CALLING PUTIN A "KILLER" - BIDEN

President Joe Biden stands by his description of Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “killer,” the White House said Thursday afternoon, refusing to walk back a comment that’s escalated long-running tensions between the two countries.

*Igbos you are not our enemies*, and when would the majority of you come to realise that the power which the landless fulani black arabs wield over us is not more but one. One which strength is inversely proportional to how well we continue to react to the numerous falsehood disseminated by the many provacatur they have planted within us. These provacatur are mongrels; those fulani-Igbos, fulani-Yoruba fulani-etc who are half-breeds with knowledge of our language, ways and culture. They do more damage from within than the real fulanis themselves. Why should we continue to hate, fight, quarrel when the way to successfully achieve the disintegration of this evil and failed so-called country? The fulani black arabs continue to do everything to ensure that the seeds of discord, hatred and enmity which they have planted among us continue to yield more a behavior that marks a disunited South. We the Yorubas, have always demand for the deamalgamation of this Zoo even long before you lots gave the fulani (_whom the British left the administrative control with (in order to keep the indeginous natives perpetually underdeveloped and backwards_) a reason to attack your people under the pretext of a civil war which is nothing but a genocidal war masterminded against your people. These same half-Fulani-Igbos mongrels misguided Ojukwu to invade Yorubaland when he should have logically taken his forces up to Kaduna to destroy where the largest and only armory the fulani-dominated army relied on, this intrusion into the West and Edo led to the Yorubas who have been sitting on the fence, to join the war as many Yorubas had to go enlist to be a soldier. All this led to the civil Biafran war. BEFORE all that's the Yorubas have always wanted out of the contraption, even long before and after Tony Ngrube called Frederick Fasheun's attention to the vacuum in the west of a not having a socio-cultural group in Yorubaland assigned with the sole responsibility of securing and protecting its people from those who hide under the umbrella of Nigeria to decimate its people. The fight for the actualization of an independent ethnic nationality trapped in this expired, mere geographic expression on the map is what we should combine forces to achieve and not responding to lies and untruths posted on Nairaland by mongrels pretending to be Yoruba and Igbos. If you disagree with the point raised herein and still want to believe the Yorubas are not be trusted because you can not shake the thoughts instilled in your mind that makes you all think Yorubas are cowards race who will forever act as the backstabbing slaves licking the shoes of the caliphates in Sharialand as ruled by the fulani aliens, then please the article below:

*ARE YORUBA COWARDS OR SLAVES? ANSWERING THE IGBO'S QUESTIONS*

I do not really have any reason to make any senseless tribal stereotyping, I don't like doing it, and it pisses me off when people do it, but today, the rate by which some uncultured IGBO guys on the social media are going by calling YORUBA cowards needs to be addressed and sorted out.
As we love to say in Yorubaland that: a single wayward slave would always bring festered mess upon other slaves. Let us have some words together.

After the Civil War, the Igbo nation had always pitched all her tents with the Hausa/Fulani.

They voted for Shagari, and the Igboman called Alex Ekwueme was his running mate. They cohered and cohabited, we did not say a thing until Buhari and the gangs struck on the last day of 1983.

When Buhari came in 1984, he left Shagari in his comfort, in his house, but put Ekwueme in KIRI-KIRI. Did Igbo raise any eyebrow?

No.

Then who is a coward?

How many states did MKO win in the South East in '93? The Igbos simply voted for Bashir TOFA against MKO as they did against Awo in 79 and 83.

We did not call you cowards for your choice. No.

Before June 12 election was annulled by IBB, the Igbos were already seen going up and down in support of the ill-fated annulment.

Did we call you cowards or Fulanic slaves? No.

When Sani Abacha came, the Igbos took center stage in his government, the Igbos did not feel ashamed for dining and wining with the Hausa tyrants to make sure that the June 12 did not see the light of the day.

Did we fight or call IGBOS cowards? No.

The supposed Igbo's intellects like Nzeribe, professor Chukwumerije, Ojukwu and even Chinua Achebe were going everywhere for Abacha. Onyeka Nwenu and others sang praises to whitewash Abacha on the world's stage.

We did not call you cowards. We didn't.

One deranged Daniel Kanu put a One Million Match together, YEAA(Youth Earnestly Ask For Abacha), for no one but Abacha. The entire Igbo generations were for Abacha. We, Yoruba, did not call you cowards for your choice to wine and dine with the demons, we respected your choice.

And if you conclude in your hearts that we were cowards for voting Buhari, especially in 2015, then you must see yourselves as illiterates for not knowing that president Goodluck Jonathan and his goons were running the country's economy aground through corruption and inexperience.

You blamed Yoruba for your loss over the Civil War, now let me ask you: were Lagos State and Ọ̀RẸ̀ in Ondo State parts of Biafran territory?

During the Civil War, the major actors responsible for the victory of the ill-fated civil war were the Yorubas (Benjamin Adekunle, Olusegun Obasanjo, Gen Yinka Adebayo, Obafemi Awolowo etc).

Did you know that it was "ONLY" the Yorubas that stood by Ojukwu in his early days in exile despite committed a treason?

Did you know that "NO" Igbo leader, not even one, had the gut to visit Ojukwu in exile within the first seven years. Only Yoruba "Cowards" like Wole Soyinka, Tai Solarin and others were brave enough to visit and spend time with him in Abidjan.

Did you know that out of all his contemporaries it was only the Zik of Africa that "ran" abroad during the political turbulence of late 60s.

Did you know that if MKO Abiola was to be an Igboman in the case of June 12, Igbos wouldn't have gotten Obasanjo.

Did you know that despite the heroic welcome given to Ikemba upon his return from exile, the same people "rejected" him from becoming a senator less than a year after?

Yorubas are not cowards.

We are Compassionate Deep Thinkers who don't do things precipitously, and we see way beyond tomorrow and present.

We don't fight wars we can win with "brains" with hands. We don't make senseless noise just to attract needless attention or sympathy.

We are Warriors who use Great Ideas, Intellect and Strategies to fight wars.

We can decide to lose a battle just to win a war.
We are the most Sophisticated Microcosm of this entity called NIGERIA.

You must agree with this wholeheartedly.

We are the "Bolts and Nuts" that hold Nigeria together.

We are not brutes, we are not animals, we are not cowards..

I don't like doing ethnic stereotyping but my blood boils when some misled Igbos call us cowards for our political decisions.

For your information...., two of my brothers married your sisters, Chinyere and Nneka. I don't have any problem with the IGBO nation but the brutes amongst them must be called to order.
