A fun anecdote from the New Yorker

Biden has a personal history with Putin, too. During a trip to Moscow, in 2011, Biden, then Vice-President, was blunt. “I’m looking into your eyes,” he told Putin. “I don’t think you have a soul.” (The comment was a jab at President George W. Bush’s claim, a decade earlier, that he had looked into Putin’s eyes and seen his soul.) Putin replied, “We understand each other.”
