'We are not seeking conflict with Russia. United States will respond in a robust and meaningful way if Russian government engages in harmful activities. We stand with the democracies of Europe and with rest of the world. I will be meeting with the G7 and NATO allies and then meet Putin and let him know what I want him to know'

Why is Biden confronting Russia?

IS THIS A SERIOUS QUESTION?


Are you unaware of the latest things the Putin sponsored cyber hackers are doing? Didn't Tucker cover it? Or whatever unrealistic and backwards *** place you get your news from?
I'M SURE WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT IS JUST THE START.................

As far as cyber hackers / oil pipeline, it is 'alleged' by DoD that source is from Russia. What Russia gains from sponsoring / sabotaging is unclear. Seems Putin himself was unaware and had assured that he will look into it. Could the attack not have been from Iran, NK or even from inside US using the VPN rerouting scheme?

No, I've not viewed Fox News for a long time because I find Tucker has 'lost it'

I read Forbes, Bloomberg, Reuters and occasionally the NYT - reports that are less slanted.


Normally I do not attack politicians, just their policies.

Nor do I attack people in Mingle or disparage their country of origin.

Maybe it's the Hinduism, and from experien.e I say,

'Hate is self destructive' - we don't realize till too late/

I've found the best way to deal with these pancakes is to let them talk with themselves. Don't get yourself drawn in. You'll end up as crazy as them from the trauma of listening to these theories that seem to have been calculated by someone who would try building snowmen in Ghana.

President Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "worthy adversary" at a press conference following a NATO summit in Brussels on Monday — days after Putin praised former president Donald Trump and called Biden a "career man" in an interview.

"He's bright, he's tough, and I've found that he is — as they say when I used to play ball — a worthy adversary," Biden said of Putin.

So, as of now, Biden and Putin have both shown enough sensibility... On the world stage the difference is clear. However good or wise gestures are only as good as they come on the ground. This part won't be easy.

“When I talked about the pipeline that was hit with ransomware in the United States, I looked at him and I said, ‘How would you feel if ransomware took the pipelines from your oil fields?’” Biden said.

Putin replied that “it would matter.”

Rather than seek concrete deliverable results, the United States saw the summit as an opportunity to build a more stable and predictable relationship between the world’s two biggest nuclear powers.

“Both leaders showed measured respect for each other, and the return of ambassadors was likely a pre-arranged accomplishment that has a good optic to it,” said Tom Block, Washington policy strategist for Fundstrat.

“A trip that put the U.S. on the same page as our allies all should add to Biden’s image as a seasoned politician and leader, which is likely to be calming for market participants,” he said.

"Today, it is America that stands strong and united with our allies, while Russia is isolated, with its economy in tatters,” Obama said. “That’s how America leads — not with bluster, but with persistent, steady resolve.”

Five short years later, America’s most important allies in Europe, are all but begging the Russians to pump gas through Nord Stream 2 and lower prices as fast as possible.

The main impact on all of this has been on future investment in Russian oil and gas. American companies have been locked out, especially on anything related to fracking or offshore drilling in the Arctic.
