I think you missed the part where they were invited to participate in the missile defense shield, including access to all the technology. WHY, exactly, should they be disturbed by it? Especially if they could build their own, and not depend on ours? It only makes sense if they are still antagonistic to US. Putin is either a psycho or a fool, or maybe both.
Reagan offered that to Gorbachev, but have we repeatedly made offers to give the technology to Russia? We may have, I just haven’t heard of it.
I don’t have any pie in the sky views of Putin. He is what he is. I had been under the impression that we more or less let Russia flap in the breeze in the 2000 to present time frame.
Someone up thread made a comment that we have held a number of summits. I sure don’t remember them all.
