Putin got exactly what he wanted from Biden in Geneva
by Matthew Chance and Luke McGee, CNN
June 17, 2021
Geneva and London (CNN) Even before US President Joe Biden met with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, expectations were low.
Beyond some basic commitments on reinstating diplomats and agreeing to open "constructive" dialogue with the US on issues like cyber security and foreign policy, Putin gave no indication that the two leaders' first face-to-face meeting on Wednesday had compelled a change of heart. No number of friendly words, it seems, will stop the Russian leader from continuing to forcefully pursue his political agenda both at home in Russia and abroad with near total impunity.
Despite saying at the top of his press conference that he didn't think there was "any kind of hostility" between himself and Biden, Putin launched into a familiar diatribe of anti-US whataboutism to deflect criticism of the Russian Federation.
....
The optics of the summit were almost tailored to suit Putin's domestic needs. The meetings were requested by the US, which as far as the Kremlin is concerned, confirms that Putin is a leader of similar stature to the US President.
"This is exactly what the Kremlin wants. To talk to the US as equals and in such a way that the other side does not demand a change of position as a condition of dialogue," says Oleg Ignatov, Crisis Group's senior Russia analyst based in Moscow.
"There is no doubt that Putin will continue to test Biden if the dialogue deadlocks or develops in a direction that is disadvantageous to Moscow. This is not yet the beginning of the normalization of relations. It is a pause in their further deterioration," he adds.
....
In short, Putin went to Geneva and got exactly what he wanted. And he left Switzerland with a huge diplomatic victory, simply by turning up.

It's funny ( and tragic ) because it's true.

Whats worse, Biden’s staff, the people actually running the country, they chose to do that.

In all honesty, it’s a list that Putin and his cronies were all too aware of. However, it was still retarded because it makes it sound like while those 16 items are off limits, there are other things the Russians are free to hack to their heart’s content.
