        During a fundraiser for his reelection campaign Wednesday night, President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "crazy SOB" and took aim at former President Donald Trump's comments comparing himself to the Russian opposition leader who died last week in an Arctic prison.
        
        Biden was talking about climate change when he said, "We have a crazy SOB like Putin and others, and we always have to worry about nuclear conflict, but the existential threat to humanity is climate."
        
        Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented by saying that Biden's "churlish" remark could hardly hurt Putin but was a "huge shame" for the U.S. "Clearly, Mr. Biden behaves in the Hollywood cowboy style to serve internal political interests," Peskov said.
