U.S. Treasury Head Labels Putin as a War Criminal

Looks here, see ol' Putin got slammed again, eh?

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent didn't pull any punches during his recent congressional speech, straight-up callin' Putin a war criminal.

When asked if he considered Putin a war criminal, ol' Scott replied with a simple "Yep."

But wait, there's more! He also expressed a willingness to negotiate with Putin, don't ya know, citing the examples of negotiations between the U.S. and Japan post-World War II.

Now, ol' Biden ain't one to shy away from sharin' his opinion 'bout Putin neither.

Back in April 2021, during an interview with ABC News, Biden called Putin a "killer." And then, in May 2022, he flat-out called him a "war criminal." Funny thing, he initially said "no" when asked if he considered Putin a war criminal, but after repeatin' the question, he admitted to it.

Back in February, after Navalny's passing, ol' Biden stated that Putin is "committin' some heinous shit against his own folks."

But ol' Biden didn't just stop there, later callin' Putin a "goddamn war criminal" during a fundraiser event in San Francisco.

  2. April 4, 2023: Biden reiterated his stance during a White House press conference, callin' Putin a "war criminal" in response to reports of Russian atrocities in Bucha.[5]
  3. May 2023 Debate: Biden referred to Putin as a "war criminal," drawing attention to the thousands of lives lost due to Putin's actions in Ukraine.[3]

Throughout his tenure, Biden has been steadfast in his opposition to Russia's actions in Ukraine, alignin' with widespread international condemnation of Putin's regime.

In the realm of politics and general news, the labeling of Putin as a war criminal has been a recurring theme. For instance, in April 2022, during a visit to Poland, Biden called Putin a "war criminal" while meeting with Ukrainian refugees. Similarly, on April 4, 2023, Biden reiterated his stance during a White House press conference in response to reports of Russian atrocities in Bucha. In a debate in May 2023, Biden once again referred to Putin as a "war criminal," highlighting the devastating impact of Putin's actions in Ukraine. These instances underscore Biden's steadfast opposition to Russia's actions in Ukraine, aligning with the international community's condemnation of Putin's regime.
