“READ the article, or have someone read it to you, considering your condition.”
I read the article, Sparky.
FTA: “For the first time in the century of US warfare against Russia, a sitting US president has requested and received a formal ceasefire and safe conduct pledge (propusk) from the Kremlin in order for him to visit a third country.”
That was the opening sentence. It lends the author no credibility at all: We have not been engaged in warfare with Russia for 100 years; and a sitting US president doesn’t have to request a formal ceasefire and safe conduct pledge from Russia to visit a third country.
It is standard diplomatic protocol to notify a warring country of the intent to visit a country against whom that warring country is waging war. The warring country will say, “We won’t shoot you down;” or, it will say, “We will shoot you down;” or, it can say, “It’s a very dangerous and hostile environment and you travel at your own risk.” In this instance, Putin said, “We won’t shoot you down.” That is a far cry from PERMISSION.
