Perhaps they talk about it over a nice bowl of poison, I mean soup (two old men on a Zoom)

December 2021

“President Biden and President Vladimir V. Putin spoke in a video call on Tuesday, discussing the potential Russian invasion of Ukraine. Makes sense — the only way to resolve a delicate situation that requires crystal-clear communication is two old men on a Zoom.” — Stephen Colbert

“We do not know the results of this call yet, but Biden made it clear that if Russia invades, the U.S. and our allies would respond with strong economic and other measures. I know we’re trying to avoid a hot war here, but those are some pretty vague threats. ‘Son, if you throw a party when your mother and I are out of town, we will respond with strong reactions and emotions, t.b.d.’” — Stephen Colbert

“At the end of the call, the two presidents tasked their teams to follow up, according to the White House. (In Russian accent) Very good, we will have our people follow your people. I mean, follow up. Perhaps they talk about it over a nice bowl of poison, I mean soup.” — Stephen Colbert

“Today, President Biden held a big one-on-one video call with Russian President Vladimir Putin that lasted two hours. And like most two-hour meetings over Zoom, Putin was like, [imitating Putin] ‘This could have been email.’” —Jimmy Fallon
