Biden to hold solo press conference following Putin summit
NBC "News" ^ | June 12, 2021 | Shannon Pettypiece

President Joe Biden will hold a solo press conference following his summit in Switzerland with Russian President Vladimir Putin, avoiding what foreign policy experts warned could be a high-risk moment had he chosen to stand side-by-side with Putin while briefing the press.

“We expect this meeting to be candid and straightforward, and a solo press conference is the appropriate format to clearly communicate with the free press the topics that were raised in the meeting — both in terms of areas where we may agree and in areas where we have significant concerns,” said a White House official.

A key goal for the White House coming out of the meeting scheduled for Wednesday will be to convey that Biden delivered a strong message to Putin, in contrast to the chummy relationship former President Donald Trump projected after his first sit down with Putin, said a person familiar with the planning.

I predict that Joe will come out of that meeting stumblin and bumblin like we’ve never seen before.

If Putin is as smart as everyone says he should get Joe alone and just go full ape-shit on him. That would be the best and also have it secretly taped and shown to the world. This could force Joe out and then Putin can play an even weaker Kamala like Willie Brown

Because none of the others would be seen with him.

Biden will say what he wants, the press will say he did a fabulous job, Putin will either not speak or not contradict Biden. Down the road, Putin will do or get whatever he wants. Biden wins the PR war, Putin wins the actual war. Both are happy. The Russian people win, the US people lose.

The drugs will be mixed into his pudding. If they don’t do that, he just spits-out the pills.

What scares me is him saying something in bluster but the other leader takes him seriously.

Putin, “Secondly, I want to ask you: “Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?”

Putin said. “Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering Congress? And they didn’t go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. 450 people have been detained.

They’re facing jail time, from 15 to 20 years, and they came to Congress with political demands. Isn’t that persecution for political opinions?”

Thank YOU President Putin..

question: squinting into the sun, sunglasses in hand

did he forget to put them on, or that he has them in his hand?

The other leaders laughed right in his face and he did nothing. Very sad to watch. Other leaders may not have liked Trump, as he publicly called them out on their BS, but none of them would have dared laugh to his face.

Biden makes things much worse. Get on the world stage and say his handlers will get mad if he goes off script? He seems to think the world will love his buffoonery as much as CNN.

Is Joe bringing a link of chain with him like when he threatened to lynch Corn Pop?

Is a solo press conference like a solo debate?

Putin to Joseph Stolen: “SAY HER NAME!”

I’m sure none of the questions will be rehearsed or planned in advanced.
