Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday revealed that he had some tough words for Vladimir Putin during their last meeting.
“When I was last with Putin and we were in his office alone, and he wanted to show me his magnificent office, and it was, and I said it’s amazing what capitalism will do,” said Biden before dropping the burn. “And I said, and I wasn’t being a wise guy, I said, ‘Mr. President I’m looking in your eyes and you have no soul.’”
According to Biden, Putin replied: “We understand one another.”
Biden made his remarks while receiving the Zbigniew Brzezinski Prize from the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
