President Joe Biden participated in a video call with Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday morning as tensions with the Kremlin increase over a possible invasion of Ukraine. The call lasted for two hours.
While the White House press pool wasn't allowed into the meeting, reporters for Russian state media were and released footage of the call.

"I hope next time we can meet in person," President Biden can be heard telling Putin on their video call.
Russia allowed state media in for a short video spray of the first few moments of the call - the White House did not allow American press any access. https://t.co/KcBZwHdFQK— Jacqui Heinrich (@JacquiHeinrich) December 7, 2021
Putin has amassed 90,000 troops on Ukraine's border and is expected to invade the country in the early months of 2022.
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are watching the Biden White House closely and warning that China is doing the same.
“Diplomacy without action is weak and Vladimir Putin only understands strength. Allowing him to execute a land grab in Ukraine would be a humanitarian disaster in Europe and embolden other malign entities such as the Chinese Communist Party. President Biden must send a strong signal to Putin, Xi, and other brutal strongmen around the world that the United States will not condone violent takeovers of nations," Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn released in a statement.

The press is a bigger threat to Biden than 100,000 Russian troops invading Ukraine.
I give up. Who got in?
RE: I give up. Who got in?
It’s right there in the second sentence of the article. Reading is fundamental.
Russia released that because it’s Biden begging for a summit.
Putin looks like the Cheshire Cat about to eat a mouse.
I was guessing Hunter.
Ignore everything else - only look at RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!
"I was on the phone today with President Biden and I'm afraid he got a little confused and is evacuating Alaska. We don't have any troops earmarked for occupation so could I ask a favor? Could you occupy yourselves while the lawyers work this thing out? Thanks muchly, Vlad."
Hopefully Russia releases the entire video.
He did eat it, and who can blame him?
Only 90K troops now - first reports were 200k, then came 175K, the only 75K. So now its back up to 90K. Almost one full Russian Army. Press, please make up your minds.
No old timey negro baseball references from Biden?
I was guessing Hunter.

Hey now,
Hunter was just looking for some,, uh,, ideas for his next painting.
Griffters gonna grift imho.
“Dear America,
“I was on the phone today with President Biden and I’m afraid he got a little confused and is evacuating Alaska. We don’t have any troops earmarked for occupation so could I ask a favor? Could you occupy yourselves while the lawyers work this thing out? Thanks muchly, Vlad.”

“Dear Vlad and Americ,
We have lots of spare troops and would love to occupy Alaska. We would love all those fish and minerals you no longer have any need for. Thanks for considering our offer, Xi.”
“P.S. - Fair is fair, yes we’d like Alaska back. Attached is a check refunding your purchase for $7.2M; please return the deed to the property. Knowing it’s been a few years and you may have misplaced it, we’ll settle for a memo to that effect, in crayon, you just have to sign it and we’ll do the rest. Thanks loads. V”
Ukraine is and will remain a mess for years to come.
