    we know exactly what this summit was about. Bribery. to see if we can make a deal with Russia to pull them away from China. i don't think it will work. since we backed states who killed Russian speaking peoples in Georgia and Ukraine first, that is most important the word first. we kind of awaken a sleeping bear. already china is working on a Poseidon nuclear tsunami weapon of their own as well and probably working with their allies the Russians to achieve it. Another important word allies. that is what the Russian and Chinese are, allies. i was listening to a podcast about this, and a Russian official stated "let me be frank. china is our best customer. they buy our energy, they buy our advance weapon systems and they have an army of farmers coming up here to grow soy beans and other crops to feed china Russia, since America put up tariffs against China they have been busy making deals with us. America kind of shot themselves in the foot with those agriculture tariffs and Russian sanctions. for a capitalist country they sure don't know how to treat the customer" what can we possibly offer the Russians. if there we some sort of deal and it looks like Russia is pulling away from China it would probably be all fake. America would be fools to trust Russia after what they did them. Right now Russia is Probably meeting with China to see how this can work in their favor, "lets pretend we have a rift and just split what ever profit we can make from the deal" and a sinister laugh HA HA HA HA HA HA.

    F off that's putin's response to your list of demands. It's really a barter game, what do you have barter. Clearly it's list of sanctions if Biden's crew is bright enough to use it.

    1:52 This reporter is actually making an excuse for Joe not being able to do a press conference and blaming it on Trump… Good Lord! How low will they go?

    Joe is simply going to demand 10% for the Russian pipeline he just approved. Corruption as usual. Move along, nothing to see here.

    No meeting with the senile Biden can be high stakes. However the meeting with Putin may go, Biden will emerge thumbing his chest and announcing that he had slayed the enemy.
    That's all that will be needed.

    The President has only a very brief idea of where he is going and we all hope that he does not call Putin Trump .

    Responding in kind to a cyber attack is easy! What happens if the 150,00 troops Putin amassed on the Ukraine border go on the move? What will Joe Biden do then? He/Obama did nothing when Putin invaded and annexed the Crimea! They looked weak! They were weak! Putin never tried this when crazy Trump was President!

    with out nukes putin is a bit player. so what is the most honest thing any reporter can say. hammer on nail head. china is closer to us then to russia in most ways. sure they are a one party state. but that party has to agree on their leadership. they are a capitalist mostly economy. to me we need to match government money to industry dollar for dollar. way cheaper then trade wars.and makes more jobs not fewer. trade is human progress to say otherwise is just stupid. we the people paid for the tariffs not the chinese. also they have 4 times our population per capita they are no where near us. even after so many g o p greed driven turds in the white house. we the people of the u s a so far from the new deal to now .even after the reagan lie and the tax change in 1986 that lost us the tax base are still number one. in freedom and standard of living when compared to china. the nordic states using democratic socialism have passed us . but when we used that as a system that ended with reagan we where so far in the lead its just a one usa horse in the race. graft and greed are hurting us some . but really we will get that fixed a lot if we dont vote g o p for two elections .and most likely it looks like the case. after the mad donny scare a lot more people get we can lose freedom by not voting. and i dont blame the g o p for wanting to stay the same . if i was getting richer everyday for nothing i would want that also. but the poor and middle class cant keep making the rich more rich so betting change is on the way and its because of the economic pain the g o p is dishing out. not to mention trying to keep voters from voting. they shot themselves in the foot with that and sticking with trump and saying so little about the election claims trump makes about not losing. its going to come home to roost. if the democrats keep the house and senate past the midterms the rich may have to pay taxes again. LOL thats what the fight is about really.

    YES FOLKS!! Yet another person who crossed the Clintons is now DEAD!!!! Another ‘suicide’!! This time it is the reporter who broke the infamous Bill Clinton-Loretta Lynch ‘tarmac meeting!! His name is Christopher Sign. Already MSNBC is blocking my link to this NEWS because they don’t want you to know. I have lost count as to how many have now either been ‘mugged’ or shot or stabbed or committed ‘suicide’, yet NEVER an investigation by these propaganda outlets!!

    Did Joe give him crack or a little kid to rip up? Was it Chinese? We've been looking for the kids on Hunter's laptop, digging all over and we haven't found them yet. We will find them. They don't all look alike.

    If Putin had his way there would have been a Russian, Chinese and American alliance. That is what was at stake in the 2020 election.

    Mr. Biden will stand against Putin unlike The Mob Boss / trump that was Putin's puppet and you Mob Boss / trump followers get a LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    HERE are the questions I want answered.

    — If Democrats didn't rig and steal the election, why are they so afraid of forensic audits in key battleground states, specifically the current audit in Arizona?

    — When Trump was an 8-to-1 landslide favorite with bettors around the world late on election night and clearly headed toward a landslide electoral victory, why did five states suddenly announce they would pause counting for the night? And how come Biden was suddenly ahead by morning?

    — How come Michigan apparently had a dump of 149,772 votes at 6:31 a.m. on Nov. 4, 96% of which went to Biden?

    — How did Wisconsin count 149,520 votes for Biden from 3:26 to 3:44 a.m. on Nov. 4?

    — How come Philadelphia vote counters were so desperate to keep witnesses out of the counting room? Why did they refuse entry to witnesses (to Republicans) until those witnesses had a court order in hand?

    — Why were the windows in a vote-counting location in Detroit covered with cardboard so nobody (no Republican) could see inside?

    — There are videotapes filmed in Detroit of vans pulling up in the middle of the night with what obviously look like boxes of ballots. In Atlanta, there are videotapes that clearly show ballot containers appearing at a vote-counting location after a fake water main break was used to force all GOP witnesses out of the counting room. Why can't we discuss these videotapes?

    — How come Twitter banned me for life over mentioning these videotapes?

    — How come the Arizona Senate's liaison for the vote audit says Maricopa County hasn't complied with the subpoena by turning over passwords to Dominion voting machines?

    — How come the Biden DOJ suddenly wants to stop the Arizona audit?

    THESE are all valid questions. Why do we get backlash for asking them and posting them on social media? What are Democrats hiding? What are they so afraid of?

    IN the end, that's the proof Democrats rigged and stole the 2020 presidential election. 

    THE truth is in their ridiculous, heavy-handed overreaction. 

    THEY'RE desperate to stop you from looking into or even talking about this.🔻

    Putin most likely sees Biden as a challenging president ' Putin knew Trump was a narcistic , overconfident bufoon and an easy mark , he had his way with that looser .

    Unlike Trump, Biden isn't going to receive his marching orders from Putin. Russia will not be setting American foreign policy the way Trump let Putin.
