White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki announced the phone call between the two leaders at her daily briefing. It came as Biden adjusts U.S. policy in a more robust way toward Russia after his predecessor, Donald Trump refused to take on Putin directly.
At the same time, Biden sought to repair the strained alliance between the United States and Europe by stressing in a phone call to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that Washington would abide by the NATO treaty's mutual defense pact.
"President Biden reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to collective defense under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty and underscored his commitment to strengthening transatlantic security," a White House statement said.

WH calls on Russia to release Alexei Navalny













In the Putin phone call, Psaki said, topics included Biden's proposal to extend the New START nuclear arms treaty with Russia for five years and "strong (U.S.) support for Ukraine sovereignty" in the face of ongoing Russian aggression.
The arms control treaty, which is due to expire on Feb. 5, limits the United States and Russia to deploying no more than 1,550 strategic nuclear warheads each.
Psaki said Biden also raised the case of Navalny, who was jailed after his return to Moscow last week in a case that has raised tension between Russia and the United States.
Biden also voiced concern about the massive Solar Winds cyber hack blamed on Russia and reports that Russians offered bounties to Taliban insurgents for killing U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Biden's phone call with Stoltenberg came a day after he spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"The president thanked the (NATO) secretary general for his steadfast leadership of the alliance, and conveyed his intention to consult and work with allies on the full range of shared security concerns, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Russia," the White House statement said.

Xi Jinping and Putin both were laughing when they saw Biden crying on live TV on 3 separate occasions Xi Jinping called him a coward for hiding in the basement for a year

"Xi Jinping called him a coward for hiding in the basement for a year"
Contextually, you appear to agree. Perhaps you share other views with him as well.

Unlike the now past "Fearless Leader", who was kicked out in the last election, President Biden was following the recommendations of the world's healthcare advisors and setting an example for others. Hallmark of leadership.

The fearful leader is a senile old fart who owes his fortune to graft and corruption paid by comrade Xi - and to his out of control crack smoking, sex addicted fuck his brother's widow scumbag son hunter. Who shared his Ukraine and chinese corruption funds with daddy.

Nevermind that the world's healthcare advisors have doubled back on their recommendations several times.

The thing that killed the most people is the healthcare community's inability to admit they don't know what they're dealing with and the media trying to play the arbiter of truth, but also getting it wrong, but being right doesn't matter to them, getting clicks does.

Fauci should have been forced into retirement years ago. He's 80, stale and an entrenched bureaucrat.
