“And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences was a few things that were very unusual,” she said.

“You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. soil here. And that left the media scrambling to get their headsets in. Usually, it is the leader of the country — the host country of a summit that speaks first and addresses. Putin started off in Russian. And we all had to get our heads set on and listen to him rattle off the diatribe about the history of the U.S. and Russia.”

    Driving in the car with Trump, now this, including the start in Russian. Is this not a bit too much to be believable?

    Putin doesn’t own Trump. The USA have cut off Iran from Russia. If anything this could be to compensate Putin for the humiliation in the Caucasus. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia–Azerbaijan_peace_agreement

    But it is too much, so that it doesn’t flatter but mock. So why do they do it? Flooding the zone doesn’t help Putin.
