Subject: Re: Let’s See If This Pans Out for Putin
You weren't addressing me, but I have to point out an error.

Given that everything is *exactly* the same after as before, we think we can agree that we are in the same place we were.

Don't agree. Putin got a publicity boon. Maybe nothing has changed in official terms, but just getting this "summit" was a win for Putin. He never should have been allowed to meet with the POTUS. At best, a low-level negotiator. Too much prestige, otherwise.

Other than that, I agree with you.
