Personally, I thought that gesture held a lot of promise. Instead, now China threatens Taiwan, and scumbags in DC line their pockets with laundered Ukraine money. And people will be sacrificed to make that happen.

Whenever we get a guy who keeps those sociopaths in line - they’re accused of “buddying up” with them.
Democrats are obsessed with Russia Xi chuckles.
Listen, she’s a leftist, she spews commie talking points. When I look at Haley I see Hillary Clinton..and if I wanted Hillary Clinton I would have voted for her in 2016, I dont need to vote for a cheap knock off when I could have voted for the real thing
My memory might be flawed, but I don’t remember Newt criticizing Reagan for meeting Gorbachev.
Every action Haley has taken since and including signing the papers to run for President is an act of FELONY FRAUD.
She is an anchor baby born to two NON CITIZENS and belongs in PRISON.
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW.
. . . Or when John F. Kennedy met with Nikita Krushchev?
Odd old quote, isn't it? But I admit the devil is in the details of each situation. That said, it's usually better when these guys are still able to talk to each other. Of course, they're playing the Summit to win as they would a war. But it's not shooting.
I think it's compatible with projecting strength--part of it, even.

Lol…can you see Nikki in a face-off with North Korea? Or Russia?
Screw diplomacy, let’s be mean angry and armed up to the teeth…that’ll impress everybody. Typical feminine leadership way of looking tough,
Or when Bush 43 and Putin danced with the ladies and ate Rocky Mountain oysters at the ranch. That was in 2007 when Bush told Putin Ukraine would not be in NATO. A year later, the backstabbing occurred….
Yes, but then you have far more reasoning than those with less than
25% reasoning power.
Mmm-kay. I'm not sure how sorry I'm supposed to feel for the Pute-ster. I mean, it's clear now why Pootey asked for the no-NATO assurance. He knew he'd want to go shopping in the Ukraine for oil, gas, and wheat, and keep the real estate they were sitting on.
. . . To gear up for more Russian consumption of European countries, which we have to assume is on the way. Don't we?
In 2007 foreign policy analysts in the West were honest in assessing that bringing Ukraine into NATO would be a red line for Russia.
By 2008 something changed and Bush 43 was coopted into it. And announced plans for NATO membership for Ukraine. Which was a shell game announced at every conference but never delivered to Ukraine because…..too many members recognized, privately, it was a red line for Moscow. However the cabal pushing for a conflict between Russia and the West……kept pushing and stringing Ukraine along with future promises.
And here we are today with a million Ukes and Russians ( mostly Ukes) dead or crippled and no NATO prospects, realistically, for Ukraine.
So who do you want to feel sorry for?
Well, all of us--if we fall into the mental trap of thinking that a born-and-bred Communist dictator (who murders his domestic critics and has no second act) will have any actual plans except external conquest. The best way to deal with such animals is a matter of strategy.
Like all major (so far) powers in history, our country exists in a slow-motion war. Totalitarian powers such as Russia and China and some Moslem entities in the Mideast, are like viruses. A lack of domestic liberty and productivity puts severe limits on state wealth. They absorb other countries and their resources, or they die.
Where totalitarians are concerned, how hot a war it will be from decade to decade is only a matter of degree. Or, since the context is nuclear, degrees.
