Putin: Biden's 'crazy SOB' comments are rude
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that recent comments about him by his American counterpart Joe Biden, in which he referred to him as a "crazy SOB," were "rude."
Still, Putin insisted that, despite the remarks, he would still prefer Biden as the US president over Donald Trump. "I said that we will work with any president, but I believe that for us, for Russia, Biden is more preferable. And judging by based on what he just said, I am absolutely right, because this is an adequate reaction to what was said on my part," Putin told VGTRK journalist Pevel Zarubin, as cited by TASS.
On Wednesday, Biden said during a fundraiser: "We have a crazy SOB, that guy Putin and others and we always have to be worried about a nuclear conflict."
