'Profanity-laced': New book reveals Biden's 'blunt' assessments of world leaders

President Joe Biden doesn't hold back in private when assessing world leaders and domestic political officials, according to a new book by legendary journalist Bob Woodward.

The famed Watergate reporter gathered material for the forthcoming publication "War" in hundreds of interviews that provided access to details from high-stakes confrontations and the president's private conversations about his stepping aside from his 2024 campaign and his son Hunter Biden's legal problems, according to excerpts published by CNN.

The network described many of the interactions as, "Blunt, profanity-laced assessments and interactions with the world leaders who have shaped his presidency."

“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy," Biden told an associate in spring 2024 as Israel's war on Gaza intensified. "He’s a bad f---ing guy!”

Woodward reveals the U.S. obtained a trove of intelligence — some of which was obtained by a human source inside the Kremlin — showing "conclusively" in October 2021 that Vladimir Putin intended to invade Ukraine with 175,000 troops, and Biden personally warned the Russian leader against the move.

"Biden confronted Putin with the intelligence twice in December 2021, first in a video conference and then in what Woodward describes as a 'hot 50-minute call' that became so heated that at one point that Putin 'raised the risk of nuclear war in a threatening way,'" CNN reported. "Biden responded by reminding Putin that 'it’s impossible to win' a nuclear war."

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed warnings from U.S. officials about the invasion, including one delivered personally by Vice President Kamala Harris during a February 2022 meeting at the Munich Security Conference, and Biden denounced Putin shortly after troops entered the neighboring country.

“That f---ing Putin,” Biden told advisers in the Oval Office shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “Putin is evil. We are dealing with the epitome of evil.”

Woodward also reveals a conversation Harris had with one of Biden's closest associates, to whom she expressed concern about the president's isolation.

“I’m calling to ask you — to really beg you, actually — could you please talk to the president more than you talk to him?” Harris said to Biden’s friend, according to Woodward. “Your president really loves you. You should talk to him more often than you do.”

“The Biden associate was candid with the vice president," the associate replied. "Look, one of the biggest reasons that Biden calls me, the associate said, is I provide him a level of comfort to the point where he can swear freely about ‘what a f---ing asshole Joe Manchin is.’”

Harris laughed, saying she enjoyed a similar dynamic with the president.

“That might be the only reason that he still really is comfortable with me to a point,” Harris said, according to Woodward, “because he knows that I’m the only person around who knows how to properly pronounce the word motherf---er.”
