US President Joe Biden embodies the traditional simplistic approach of the United States toward the world that includes telling other countries how to behave, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a recorded interview published on Telegram on Sunday.
"Biden is the flesh and blood of the US political establishment. The US approach to global affairs traditionally tends toward primitivism. They are always trying to tell everyone how to act and how to live. That is the main message," Peskov stated.
Peskov said that Biden's offensive behavior toward Russian President Vladimir Putin went as far back as 2011, when Biden came to Russia as vice president. Biden told Putin that Washington did not want him to run for president, to which Putin advised him not to interfere in Russian politics.
"Even then, there were certain attempts to display such behavior in conversations with Putin. Putin has always responded to such approaches correctly but firmly," Peskov said.
