Putin says career politician Biden is not as colorful & impulsive as Trump, and his ‘killer’ comment is ‘Hollywood macho behavior’
In his first interview with an American media outlet since 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin has brushed off his US counterpart Joe Biden’s “killer” accusation and called it posturing by an establishment career politician.
Speaking with NBC News’ Keir Simmons in Moscow, ahead of next Wednesday's summit with Biden, Putin called the “killer” comment an expression of a type of “Hollywood macho” behavior.
"Over my tenure, I've gotten used to attacks from all kinds of angles and from all kinds of areas under all kinds of pretext, and reasons, and of different caliber and fierceness and none of it surprises me," Putin said in a segment NBC aired on Friday evening.

Which can be treated as cinematic art, but that is part of US political culture where it’s considered normal. By the way, not here, it is not considered normal here.
