The meeting between President Biden and President Putin went about as well as could be expected.
The take-away – Biden is clear-eyed about what might be possible to achieve in the way of stabilizing the relationship. As he said in his comments following their meeting, the next few months will tell us if Russia is prepared to engage constructively with the US. He is not relying on anything Putin might have said – he is waiting for results.
I listened with interest to Madeline Albright on CNN last night discussing Biden’s success regarding America’s diplomacy abroad this past week. She doesn’t miss a beat.
Wow. Thanks for link, Christine. Albright puts the whole thing into perspective for conditions today and doesn't once get bogged down in no longer relevant BS. She is brilliant, both in her understanding of what's going on and her ability to communicate its significance in a clear way.
Just watched it - she is a powerful voice we are fortunate to have on our team. Thank you for the link.
While we're on the topic of outstanding public officials, I happened to catch VP Harris and Treasury Secretary Yellen (and other notable speakers) deliver remarks on June 15th about providing capital for small businesses. Secretary Yellen was very impressive. You might enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN5cmImKhJ8
Excellent Endeavor! And powerful presentation by amazing women leaders and Sen. Mark Warner.! Brought years to my eyes - what a difference this will make for America! Thank you for the link R. Dooley!
Absolutely! He didn’t need a swagger to appear to be a leader, because he IS one. Our man. The world’s man. Pooh-tin behaved himself, yet he was he was in the presence of true power and quiet truth, and he knew it.
Does anyone know whether he's receiving daily intelligence briefings? There was a lot of discussion about withholding them, but I never heard any resolution.
I thought P's expression revealed that he had been challenged. He is so used to BS-ing his countrymen and Trump-like oligarchs that a reminder of the facts must have caused him concern. He was very peevish with his "so do you" responses and false-equivalencies.

IMHO, Biden represented the country well.

Albright is such a great communicator, deftly putting together the pieces of this diplomatic puzzle. I wish we had more like her.
(And Chris Cuomo is totally crushing on her)❤️

I had the same reaction, MaryPat - It was one of the most inspiring presentations I've seen.
Thank you, Christine. I love that woman!

Putin thought tRump was a useful idiot.
Pooh-tin owned the U.S. during the tRump years!
idjt WAS a useful idiot. Wonder if he remains useful.

He was correct
"quiet truth," excellent!
Indeed.

Yes. Madeline Albright pointed out how many “what-abouts” he cited. She also called it a typical but ridiculous tactic of Putin.
Yes. The way he slouches in the chair is telling too, I think.
