BRUSSELS (AP) — President Joe Biden urged Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to “de-escalate tensions” following a Russian military buildup on Ukraine’s border in their second tense call of Biden’s young presidency.
Biden also told Putin the U.S. would “act firmly in defense of its national interests” regarding Russian cyber intrusions and election interference, according to the White House. Biden proposed a summit in a third country “in the coming months” to discuss the full range of U.S.-Russia issues, the White House said.
The Biden-Putin relationship has been rocky in the early going of the new U.S. administration. Biden is weighing action against Russia for the SolarWinds hacking campaign, Russian interference in the 2020 presidential election, reports of Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and the poisoning and jailing of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

I call BS.
Why?
It was not BidenIdiot that talked with Putin, it was Coomala.

Biden’s “young presidency” say these three Asspress jokers.
Putin’s only concern is if the US military/industrial complex is pushing for a war. Biden is incapable of making any meaningful decision.
I seriously doubt it was either one. Neither is competent to discuss geopolitics with Putin. He would run circles around them.
“the SolarWinds hacking campaign, Russian interference in the 2020 presidential election, reports of Russian bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and the poisoning and jailing of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.”
My goodness, those durned Rooskies! Always hacking and interfering and so forth!
The only thing "tense" about the phone call was whether or not Biden's mind would wander, with Biden trying to order a pizza once Putin picked up on the other end.
lulz, true.
I am willing to bet Putin had a pretty good laugh with some of his mates once he got off the phone......
Yes, either there would be incoherent mumbling or inappropriate, maniacal laughter.
Did any report say it was a phone call? I couldn’t find that. I wonder if they just sent a stern letter asking for a summit.
Like Coryn says, is Joe really President?
I could watch that all day long.
Please Vlad, don’t do it.
Please, please, please? and I’ll give you Kamala.
Putin should make it easier on himself — invite Biden to a vodka drinking contest.
As far as I can remember, the Russians have always tested new administrations in one way or another.
With Biden, they don’t know whether to laugh at us or cry at the loss of great adversary.
