Brandon threatening Putin is like seeing a Chihuahua barking at a Doberman.

[motor-head]

*Putin should take this threat very seriously.*

Biden is an expert at wrecking economies.

[criticalthought]

Can you really use economy as a threat when you destroyed ours?

[orangeblood]

It's crazy Brandon cares about every border except the southern border

[MisterMason]

Brandon: we will put sanctions on you..
Putin: we would do the same but you're doing it to your own country just fine.

[JustAName-itqp]

You think Putin is threatened by a teleprompter?

[frankthecat]

And Putin burst out in laughter. Let’s go Brandon.

[cav]

That's a pretty pathetic threat.
Let's go Brandon!

[olddude]

This would have never happened under Trump

[charlieodom]

Lmfao!!!! Putin couldn't care less about what Brandon says!

[lageronimo]

Putin can barely hold back his laughter. Biden scares him as much as Obama did when he let him annex Crimea.

[lynneuribeross]

What a joke!!! Like Joe is going to do anything.

[joshuapaul]

Brandon should have addressed soaring inflation, open border, rampant criminality and pervasive corruption including outrageous corruption of his crime family. Russia is not a problem, it's a diversion.

[D-FIANT]

Wow!!! Brandon is so tough 🙄
Let's go Brandon 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[Kingfisher]

Brandon was so serious about this that he met via video. Much easier to talk tough over the phone rather than face to face.

[ClearBrookExotics]

Brandon warns Putin? 😆 That’s like a mouse with dementia threatening a lion.

[dgoodmanu]

How is it that this government can boost billions of dollars for other countries but can't boost billions of dollars to help our own country.

[devilmancrybaby]

Russia has been waiting for this moment when there’s a weak President and wtf is a economy threat going to do that’s what I would like to know

[TheGrasspond]

Listening to Biden try to talk tough is like the cute poodle barking ferociously. He just can't pull it off. China and Russia are in cahoots and we need a leader that can get along with the super powers or war will happen.

[barbarosasmth]

I'm sure pitun is shaking in his boots with mumbling stumbling Brandon's string words
