Biden calls Putin a “crazy son of a bitch”

US President Joe Biden has called Russian head of state Vladimir Putin a "crazy son of a bitch". At a meeting with Democratic Party donors in San Francisco, Biden said that climate change was the "existential threat to humanity" despite the "crazy bastard Putin".

In English, the President used the expression "SOB", short for the insult "son of a bitch". In German, this means something like "bastard", "asshole" or even "son of a bitch".

Biden has already called Putin a "butcher" and a "war criminal" in the past. Following the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in Russian custody, Biden announced "significant" sanctions against Russia.

Biden has often been caught swearing
The 81-year-old Biden is known for swearing in private. In January 2022, he also called a reporter from the Fox News channel, which is particularly popular with conservatives, a "son of a bitch" when he thought the microphone was switched off. The term is quite common in the USA and is considered less vulgar compared to other insults.
