That's why you usually don't reward someone with a head-of-state level summit unless they're willing to agree to something in exchange for the unalloyed benefit of getting to have that meeting. Dictators love the opportunity to create the illusion that they're not pariahs or war criminals or anathema to the global world order - giving that to them for "free" is foolish.

According to this logic Nixon never should have gone to China and Reagan should have told Gorbachev to pound sand.
Rubio had it right - Putin is ALREADY on the world stage. Russia, as much as this board hates them, is an important country merely by virtue of how many nuclear weapons they have.

The Russians aren't going to just leave on their own, which is why Ukraine's regular military forces are attacking them constantly in one of the more active wars going on in the planet. In response to that, at some point the Russians are likely to come to the determination that they will need to withdraw.

This is the assumption the left wing position is based on.
