You can negotiate with Putin without giving him a one-on-one summit with POTUS on American soil. That's why this is a huge win for Putin. He gets a very valuable breach of the upper diplomatic isolation and an enormously valuable propaganda tool for use back home. And he didn't have to meet a single pre-condition to have the meeting.

Again, he’s winning in the battlefield. He can…do nothing.

The west has very few cards to play at the moment.

Both are bad options....but they'll choose Russia and China over us, if we make them choose. Which only makes China stronger.

Okay. So punitive economic sanctions are off the table.

How many American military resources are you willing to commit, of what type and for how long?
