It is obvious that he could not have correctly articulated America's position on Russia and/or proficiently communicated same to the world and of course Putin would have eaten his lunch in the projection of strength with the two men standing together side by side fielding questions. Perception is everything and the old, frail and tired, heavily demented Joe Biden would have been a complete flop, especially after the tiring G7 and NATO meets in which he literary shuffled and labored through to the finish line.
But for how long will the cover up last as he is just in the first half of the first quarter of his four years in the office, in which the Deep State installed him. It is apparent that his "I will tell Putin what I want him to know" will eventually end up being a mere bluster as there is nothing he will say to Vladimir Putin which has not been said to Vladimir Putin before. It is sad what happened on November 3rd, 2020 that have reduced America's leadership to such a gerontocrat that nobody really cares any more what the White House says or thinks about anything. As for Putin, he will just scoff and sneer at whatever syllables that Joe Biden's lips manages to spit out, except if there is an accompanying written text which he will hand over to Putin for clarity.
ICHEOKU is not excited nor expectant that anything tangible will be told Putin by Joe Biden; and so, the world is advised to not raise their hopes too much with great expectation as things will remain the same, as is; regardless of what Joe Biden tells Vladimir Putin and whether or not he knows or understands the same. The relationship between Washington DC and Moscow is military industrial complex dictated and as long as their lust for money persists, the relationship can never improve as Russia will always be held out as the bogey man that the rest of the world must be protected from and with it more money voted for defense spending and the periodic wars which is the golden goose that lays their golden eggs for their sumptuous omelet.
