The President of the United States Joe Biden tonight (Thursday) participated in an election event in San Francisco, where he called the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin: "a crazy son of a bitch".
These words come against the background of the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison.
Biden referred to the major threats, in his view, to the world and said: "We have this crazy son of a bitch Putin, but the existential threat to humanity is the climate crisis"
These things come against the background of the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the death of Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison.

This is not the first time that the President of the United States has used harsh language towards a head of state.
The "Politico" website published a claim at the beginning of the month that President Biden called Benjamin Netanyahu in inner circles "a crazy bad guy".
In a political column, the veteran political reporter, Jonathan Martin, wrote: "Like everyone in the administration, and like every democrat with a pulse, Biden feels deep suspicion towards Netanyahu."
According to Martin, the President of the United States said the phrase "bad fucking guy" "according to people who talked to him".
However, he notes, the president's spokesman, Andrew Bates, denied the allegations, saying "he didn't say, and he wouldn't do it."
According to Bates, the two have "decade-long relationships of respect, on the private and public level."
