Biden, Delaware Senator, Claims He Knew Putin as Young KGB Agent in 1980s
Jun 7, 2024, 11:20 PM
President Joe Biden has claimed that he knew Russian President Vladimir Putin when he was a young KGB agent in Leningrad in the 1980s. Biden, a United States Senator from Delaware at the time, stated that he was Putin's best man at his wedding in 1983, although he later clarified that he pretended to be so to infiltrate the KGB. This assertion has sparked controversy, with critics questioning the veracity of Biden's statement. According to Wikipedia, Putin worked as a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, starting in 1984. The mainstream media is now faced with the dilemma of either disproving Biden's claim or addressing the implications of a U.S. Senator's alleged involvement with a KGB officer during the Cold War.
