'He's a crazy son of a b*tch': Biden spoke out about Putin in his campaign speech

On Wednesday, Feb. 21, U.S. President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "crazy son of a bitch" and said the threat of climate change is an existential threat to humanity's survival.

He announced this during a campaign event in San Francisco, The Hill reports.

Biden announced this in the context of the threat of climate change, which is an existential threat to humanity's survival.

"This is the last existential threat, it is climate. We have a crazy SOB (son of a bitch) like that guy Putin, and others, and we always have to worry about nuclear conflict, but the existential threat to humanity is climate," he said.

In particular, the US president directly blamed Putin for Navalny's death in a Russian prison last week. Biden also took aim at Trump, who failed to mention Putin in his response to Navalny's death and instead complained about a conspiracy of prosecutors, judges and Democrats against him.

"If I stood here 10 to 15 years ago and said all this, you’d all think I should be committed," Biden said of Trump's comments.

The US president recalled that Republicans once had "an American moral center, but it seems to be lost."

The comment came after Biden criticized Trump on Tuesday for his reaction to Navalny's death, saying he refused to hold Putin accountable for it.

We shall remind you that the White House is studying the possibility of transferring long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.
