Yeah. You’re right. Leaders never engage with each other on the phone or at a summit. I’m sure they just sit aside and let the wind take them where they need to go. Putin is a notoriously difficult fuck to deal with - long before he invaded his neighbor. He has made leaders, Americans included, look out of their league more than once. Personally, I’d rather not have an empty suit in office that can deal with the shit leaders and our Allies, but to each their own.
