It was worth a try to give Russia a chance to do the right thing. But Putin, in the spirit of Cersei Lannister, is choosing violence.
You are a big defender of this Alaska “summit”. Given that everything is *exactly* the same after as before, we think we can agree that we are in the same place we were.
So would you recommend doing another summit, on the hope that you can “give them another chance to do the right thing?”
If yes, explain how doing the same thing will lead to a different outcome.
If no, and without any signals that change was possible, explain how doing how it was supposed to lead to a different outcome.
Finally, explain if you think the Alaska summit was a success for Trump? For the US? For Putin?
Thanks.
