    2: Jimmy Carter

    3: Brezhnev

    4: Khrushchev

    5: Stalin

    I’m like 95% sure there’s a shorter path in there I just don’t know who those people actually met

      I want to say there may be a shorter connection via Biden and his handshake with Anwar El-Sadat of Egypt to some Soviet official to Stalin, but I'm not sure either

      Looks like Brezhnev met with Stalin in 1952, so you can skip over Khrushchev

      Piggybacking on your Carter link but through Robin Williams or Al Franken.

      If you met Biden, it's basically:

      1. Biden

      2. Some career politician who was around during FDR/Eisenhower's administration. Biden is a shameless sycophantic career politician, so there's a 100% he would've sucked up to some ancient politician who personally worked with FDR or Eisenhower.

      3. FDR/Eisenhower

      4. Stalin
