Contents summary
[edit]In War, Woodward compares the presidencies of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, concluding that Trump is worse than Richard Nixon. Woodward alleges that Trump sent scarce COVID-19 tests to Russian president Vladimir Putin during the pandemic.[2] Woodward also alleges that Trump continued his relationship with Putin after his presidency ended, through as many as seven private calls.[3]
According to Woodward, Biden referred to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "son of a bitch" and a "bad fucking guy" regarding his handling of the Israel–Hamas war, and blamed the Russian invasion of Ukraine on former president Barack Obama's handling of Russia's annexation of Crimea.[4][5] Woodward also writes that the United States Intelligence Community had uncovered Russia's plans to invade Ukraine months in advance, but the Biden administration was unable to convince Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the intelligence was accurate.[5]
