North Korea has launched a sharp verbal attack against the US president, calling him "sneaky" and "weak" after Joe Biden accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of war crimes in Ukraine.
Biden has repeatedly accused the Russian military and the Russian president of war crimes. But he caused consternation in Washington and other Western capitals in late March when he said Mr Putin "cannot remain in power".
"Such irresponsible comments could only be made by a descendant of the Yankees, old-time masters of attacks and intrigue," the official North Korean news agency, KCNA, said in a commentary laden with heavy insults yesterday, Saturday.
But it also "could be concluded that (Mr. Biden) has a problem in his mental functions, that his irresponsible comments are nothing but evidence of the recklessness of a hyperactive person with dementia," according to the text, which does not mention the US president's name.
"The future of the US looks bleak with someone so weak in power," it added."
Pyongyang openly supports Russia, one of its few international allies, in the war in Ukraine. It accuses Washington of being "at the root" of the current crisis.
It is not uncommon for North Korea's official media to rail against foreign leaders using strong language, sometimes insults. Already, Mr. Biden has been called a "rabid dog" who would have been better off "killed by being hit with a bat" when he was still running for president.
Former US President Donald Trump - before his summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un - had received the cosmetic epithet "senile", while former South Korean President Park Geun-hye was for the North Korean media at best a "wicked witch."
