“He’s the one who says it who is”, when Putin mocks Biden

Hostilities had been launched by the new US President Joe Biden, who called him a “killer”. Russian President Vladimir Putin mocked his American counterpart on Thursday, March 18, before reaffirming that Russia would defend its interests and work with the United States where it is “advantageous”. “It is the one who says it who is,” said the Russian head of state, smiling, according to comments broadcast on Russian television. “It’s not just a childish expression, a joke. The meaning is deep, and psychological. We always see our own characteristics in the other, ”he said.

Vladimir Poutine, who also said to wish “good health, without any irony” to President Biden, then reaffirmed that Moscow would not be intimidated by Washington, a leitmotif of its diplomacy. “We will defend our own interests and we will work with [les Américains] on terms that will be advantageous to us, ”he added.

He was speaking during a videoconference with representatives of civil society from Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014, the starting point of ever more conflicting Russo-Western relations.
