It’s Biden and Putin on the telephone talking shop about Ukraine. Enjoy the Satire
After months of effort, American and Russian diplomats have arranged a telephone conversation between Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin.
Joe: Vlad, Vlad. Are you there?
Vladimir: Next you’d call me “Vlad the Impaler.” Call me Vladimir.
Joe: Don’t be touchy. I didn’t want to call you Poutine or put in. The latter has a salacious meaning.
Vladimir: Interesting. Ummm….what are we going to do with our mutual headache?
Joe: You first.
Vladimir: No. You first.
Joe: No. You first. You broached the subject.
Vladimir: Our Ukraine military action…
