Today , Tuesday, Biden urged Putin to show restraint regard Ukraine.  Joe wants to hold a Summit in a neutral country in the coming months. 

Will Putin demand an apology for calling him a "Killer" before agreeing to meet with Joe ? 

In response to Biden's first request for restraint Russia stated they will do what's necessary to protect their interests. 

You can read that different ways. 

Joe is no match for Putin.

What does Russia cranking up its war machine have to do with oil??  What does the 3rd largest oil producer (11.5%) staging for war have to do with oil?   Funny.

Geopolitics affects O&G.

Hell, local politics affect O&G. 

We could discuss how the specific county that I'm contracting in right now mandates washing every tire on every truck with a bleach solution to help with a root-rot problem, but that's pretty near irrelevant if Russia starts a war.

There will be no dialogue between these two, Like or not Biden is not capable of in depth hard line conversation. Biden cannot engage the American press or its people pertaining to immigration or distribution of of infrastructure reconstruction.

The entire concept of this engagement is beyond imagination.

Every major Trump conversation with a foreign leader was leaked to the press. Who wants to bet me that doesn't happen this time?

Getting buyer's remorse about your candidate? Don't worry, there's supposedly 81 million people feeling the same way. Keep that Xiden sign in your yard, I'm sure the mobs will pass your house by just like it was lamb's blood on the door.

You think Joe can't handle a conversation with Putin ?

Come on man . . . .  didn't you hear how Joe handled Corn Pop ?  Putin is no Corn Pop.  Joe will slay Putin.  

 

(That's assuming Corn Pop is not a fictional person created by Joe)

Which means IF they have a meeting, Joe will probably have to have the meeting behind closed doors, with only a translator present.  Seems I remember a certain president being lambasted unrelentingly for doing that with Putin.  They accused Trump of making secret deals behind closed doors with Putin.  What kind of NEW secret deals do you think Joe's admin will be making with Putin's admin, not to mention Joe and Hunter? 

"Damnit, Hunter!  Don't leave any laptops laying around." 

"Secret Service?  Make sure to screen the town for drug dealers.  And keep an eye on my son, for Pete's sake!"

Yes, because a lot of people didn't trust Trump behind closed doors with Putin. 

For example, consider McCain, who also called Putin a murderer and a thug, whose public comments stopped Trump from thinking about removing sanctions: https://theweek.com/speedreads/676375/mccain-reminds-trump-that-putin-murderer-thug-ahead-saturday-phone-call

The Hunter stuff is just muckraking and it barely worked. The only quid pro quo (unlike the dirt that Trump wanted) has consistently been better governance from Ukraine, and it's been very public: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/13/biden-ukraine-kyiv-putin-475546

Well if you have not noticed Biden has managed to insult every major oil producing country aside from Iran and the North sea crowd....Ohh along with shale production. 

Now that may well demand some focus, and perhaps a very skeptical view of this current administration...very.

If this isn’t a Russian sponsored site it sure has many Putin loving fans. So slow Joe just cut off a chunk of Russia’s ability to borrow. That shouldn’t hurt much as GDP per person is barely poverty level anyways. It’s not like the population can be hurt much. As the world slowly goes electric it seems Putin is relying on oil sales in 20 years? Seems in politics and economics your Putin can’t see the big picture. Putin’s best buds got their nuke plant attacked and no mention. Just like with Trump y’all know how to self censor. Will gas make it to Germany while massing troops on the edge of Europe? Is this another brilliant move by Putin? So much more but we’re young and have time.

Press Secretary PSAKI defends Joe's show of weakness when dealing with Putin

ARTICLE:

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday dodged questions on whether President Joe Biden was projecting ''weakness'' by inviting Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to a summer summit in Europe without setting conditions.

Biden on Thursday called for a de-escalation in tensions with Russia after hitting Moscow with fresh sanctions for the alleged SolarWinds hack and Russian meddling in the 2020 presidential election and proposed a meeting with Putin this summer. The report came after Biden blinked on his initial decision to send warships to the Black Sea over Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Biden was ''clear that there would be consequences for the actions, whether it was the hacking of SolarWinds or other problematic behavior by Russian leadership,'' Psaki told a reporter who asked specifically why Biden would announce a summit intention without a commitment.

''And the president offered that … to send the message that we will have disagreement, we’re not going to hold back on that. But our objective is to have a predictable and stable relationship,'' she added.

The reporter pressed Psaki, saying if Putin had rejected the summit offer, ''wouldn’t that indicated some weakness on the part of the American administration here?''

''I think the president’s view is that Russia is on the outside of the global community in many respects at this point in time,'' Psaki replied.

''It’s the G7, not the G8 … We’ve put sanctions in place in order to send a clear message that there should be consequences for the actions. The Europeans have also done that. What the president is offering is a bridge back. And so certainly he believes it’s in their interest to take him up on that offer.''

Biden told reporters he wanted to meet with Putin in person ''to address a range of issues facing both of our countries. Our teams are discussing that possibility right now.

''And out of that summit — were it to occur and I believe it will — the United States and Russia could launch a strategic stability dialogue to pursue cooperation in arms control and security. We can address critical global challenges that require Russia and the United States to work together, including reining in nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea, ending this pandemic globally and meeting the existential crisis of climate change.''

The Kremlin on Wednesday said a summit between Putin and Biden would be contingent on U.S. behavior after reportedly telling Washington to scrap a plan to impose new sanctions on Russia.

"Of course, further work on this proposal to meet in a European country will only be possible taking into account an analysis of the actual situation and further steps from our counterparts," Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the RIA news agency, according to Reuters.

 

 

Former Defense Sec Gates, ". . . he (Biden) has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."
