I very much agree with you.
In my mind, Putin remains formal and dignified and in every setting, comfortable. Including with POTUS.
I now believe President Trump has known all along how Russia was agitated into completely resetting Ukraine, and why Russia needed to launch while under the culprit BIDEN the TERRIBLE, his term of office, and battle the whole crazed West of Europe. For many *known and for many *secret reasons.
This pair of presidents together seem to understand they have, basically, the same enemies among the West, and they understand exactly the conditions under which the other is managing. Therefore, what has to be said for public consumption is of no concern to Putin. He is neither a talker nor a cake for the camera.
Hope they can keep through this peacefully. 🙏
