During his exclusive one-on-one with the president on ABC News’ Good Morning America, Stephanopoulos brought up the just-released ODNI report detailing Russia’s attempts to help Trump in the 2020 election. “What price must he pay?” Stephanopoulos asked.

“He will pay a price,” Biden said, then recounted an anecdote in which he told Putin, to his face, that he had no soul.

“I wasn’t being a wise guy, I was alone with him in his office how it came about,” Biden said, and referencing the infamous George W. Bush quote about looking into Putin’s eyes, said he told Putin that “I looked in your eyes and I don’t think you have a soul.”

“He looked back at me and said ‘We understand each other,” Biden said, and added, “Look, the most important thing dealing with foreign leaders in my experience — and I’ve dealt with an awful lot of them over my career — is, just know the other guy.”

"What do you think of me?", Joe answered, "I think you're a damn war criminal and you should be tried as one."

Our President is no pushover and won't hesitate to call out criminals and thugs like Putin. The "nice guy" persona does not apply to dictators and tyrants.

And Putin’s rise to power via a mafia state, I am angry at fellow progressive’s naiveness about Putin back in 2016, with some even defending Putin and others seeing Putin as not a threat. No one gets so much power without destroying most if not all of their humanity (if they had any to begin with.)
