© Sputnik / Mikhail Klimentyev Sputnik: Merkel Says She Criticises Putin to His Face, Not Behind His Back After Biden's ‘Killer’ Jab
Joe Biden sparked a diplomatic scandal with Moscow last month after agreeing with a journalist’s characterisation of Vladimir Putin as a “killer” who would be made to “pay a price” for Russia’s alleged meddling in American elections.
Putin brushed off the remarks, wishing Biden “good health” and suggesting he was projecting US sins onto Russia.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has indicated that she is not afraid of criticising her Russian counterpart to his face.
“As far as Mr. Putin is concerned, I will tell you in my own words: if we’re talking about criticism, I don’t hide it. I tell him directly about it, including in our personal conversations. This is my way of dealing with the fact that we do not agree with everything that goes on in Russia in the area of human rights,” Merkel said, speaking at a meeting of the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on Tuesday, and answering a colleague’s question about whether she considers Putin to be a “killer”.

There is a saying: "Praise in public, dressing down in private." Apparently, Merkel knows it, but Obama, The Boy King, does not.
Have the good grace to praise others in public, and always criticise in private. Dressing down another in front of an audience (who are often quietly wishing the floor would swallow them up) is ..

Obama had so many things handed to him. He does not know how things really work or how to keep it real.

However better leaders following the rule, "Praise in public, condemn in private."
Too bad Obama is not good leader and neither is his wooden dummy.
Dear Fred, THE SHOUTER,
Merkel thought Biden messed up. The Russian obviously for partisan reasons think Biden messed up. Can you name one or more non-America world leaders, who think Biden made a smooth move?
I do not think you can. Typical World leaders would be UK, France, Germany (already covered above), Japan, South Korea, or Australia.
I believe since you won't be able to, you will go to the NYT, Washington Post, Salon or some liberal nutter media source and copy and paste (splat) apologia.
This Fred person seems to be quite the typical liberal. Everything he writes seems to be on an emotional, name-calling level. Its actually quite amusing.
We are glad you are amused. now tell mommy you dribbled more venom, just like she taught you to do
You sure have "mommy" issues. How come?
The Real Silence of the Lamb guy had mommy issues.
