=====Relations with Vladimir Putin=====
As vice-president in 2011, Putin snubbed Biden in a face-to-face meeting. Sitting across a conference table Putin, Biden attempted to lecture Putin. Biden said, "I’ve been around a long time. The first time I was here…” and in mid-sentence his microphone was cut off, the lights for the TV cameras went off, and the press was told to leave. The press exited quickly and quietly. Videocameras were disassembled from tripods and photographers stopped. Portable lights came down from retractable poles. No one spoke and no one lingered. Putin baited him, pulled the plug, stole Biden's audience, and rendered him speechless. Putin and the Russian delegation sat as their American counterparts realized Biden's big moment had been stolen right out from under him. Putin had had neither fear nor respect for Biden, and Biden was humiliated.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/analysis/putin-humiliated-biden-in-moscow-meeting/</ref>
In 2014 Hunter Biden colluded with and received a payment of $3.5 million Elena Baturina, the richest woman in Russia and the widow of Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow.
