It was nice of Putin and the Russians to allow the trip, and work with the Secret Service to make sure Joe was safe.
He seems like a reasonable guy.
Joe was safer in Ukraine than he is shuttling between the Whitehouse and the Delaware suburbs. The last thing that “Putin and the Russians” would want is for something to happen to the guy who increased the amount of money their energy sales brought in by $10 Billion a month. No one has ever given their economy a shot in the arm like that before.
This is not to mention the attention that they have been receiving from this three ring circus. There is no such thing as bad publicity even in the modern world. The wealth of consumers and taxpayers in the West is being transferred to Russia and Ukraine with Biden and the Democrats getting an their share as well.
