Bob Woodward's book, War, divulged shocking revelations about the world's biggest leaders, including Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin.

One of the staggering highlights was Trump's alleged shipment of Abbott Point of Care COVID-19 test machines to the Russian president amid the pandemic in 2020 despite the shortage. Putin, who received the items for personal use, reportedly asked Trump not to tell anyone as people would be mad at the ex-POTUS.

Trump replied, later agreeing to keep it secret: "I don't care. Fine."

Even after leaving office, Trump apparently kept in touch with Putin through private calls. In one part of the book, Woodward recalled the time the former U.S. president told a senior aide at Mar-a-Lago to leave the room so he could speak with his Russian counterpart.

The author revealed: "According to Trump's aide, there have been multiple phone calls between Trump and Putin, maybe as many as seven in the period since Trump left the White House in 2021."

Woodward noted that Trump aide Jason Miller claimed he was not aware of Trump-Putin's calls, while Biden's Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines played coy when questioned.

Haines reportedly said: "I would not purport to be aware of all contacts with Putin. I wouldn't purport to speak to what President Trump may or may not have done."

He said: "Barack never took Putin seriously.

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken described what Biden felt when he did not receive the same treatment from Obama while serving as the vice president during his 2009-2017 term.

Blinken said: "I think it probably harkens back to the way Biden felt he didn't get that from President Obama back in 2016. He was disappointed. He felt that, you know, as his vice president, that's the normal and natural order."

Russian president Vladimir Putin could soon be declaring victory over Ukraine.

As early as October 2021, the Biden administration received a heads-up from U.S. intelligence regarding Russia's plans to occupy Ukraine.

Woodward wrote: "It was an astonishing intelligence coup from the crown jewels of U.S. intelligence, including a human source inside the Kremlin. It was as if they had secretly entered the enemy commander's tent and were hunched over the maps, examining the number and movement of brigades and the entire planned sequence on the multifront invasion."

CIA Director Bill Burns briefed Biden on Putin's ploy, prompting the president to confront the Russian leader twice in December 2021. On the other hand, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed the idea of the invasion even after Harris told him about it during a meeting at the Munich Security Conference in 2022.
