Dmitry Medvedev, a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has slammed United States President Joe Biden on Friday, branding him as “mad” and a disgrace to the US.
Medvedev asserted that Biden lacked the authority to liken himself to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
During his State of the Union address on Thursday, Biden invoked a 1941 speech by Roosevelt to Congress, emphasizing the nation’s confronting an unparalleled historical juncture.
Biden also accused his Republican adversary, Donald Trump, of being overly deferential to Russia, a mere fortnight after labeling Putin a “crazy SOB”.
However, Putin’s ally wrote on X: “Even though Roosevelt was an infirm man in a wheelchair, he raised America from the Depression; Biden, on the other hand, is a mad, mentally disabled individual who set his mind on dragging humanity to hell.

“Roosevelt, together with allies including the U.S.S.R., was fighting for peace; yet, Biden is actively and persistently trying to start WWIII.
“Roosevelt was fighting against fascists, but Biden is fighting for them,” Medvedev wrote in English. “He is the United States’ disgrace.”
Medvedev, who portrayed himself as a liberal modernizer during his presidency from 2008 to 2012, now positions himself as an anti-Western Kremlin hawk.
