It went from being a 4 to 5 hour meeting to just 2 hours. Ambassadors of both sides, who have been recalled from Washington and Moscow will return to there posts. There will br more talks about cyber security. There MAY be more about exchange of prisoners. There will be new talks about strategic nukes. Thankfully there was no talk about 9 year old little girls or heads of state being called killers because ol' pedo Joe wasnt allowed to speak in public. Hows that?

Reagan was a bleeding godsend for America, you haven't had a politician since that could lick his boots.

^ That is what I meant - Reagan knew the Russian in and out.

The two most overestimated presidents in modern US history: Kennedy, and Reagan.
Becoming president, was Reagan's role of his life. He was not really a good film actor, for that he was too static in expression, and different to Schwarzenegger he lacked self-humour and irnoy in his movies - but he surely knew what strings to pull and what buttons to press to make the American public and its typical American mentality playing, dancing and marching to his tune. That was his strength, and that is why he still echoes in Americans' memory until today. In a way he compares to Merkel with that. Merkel's weaknesses lie in other fields, but she is, like Reagan, popular because she acts as if giving Germans what many of them crave for, like Americans craved for what Reagan pretended to give them: the impression of a good life in a good hiome that is safe and stable and kind of an idylle. Nevertheless, imo both of them were not authentic, just played a role that helped them secure loyalty by the public, and public satisfaction: the latter translating into absence of desire to revolt. We desperately lack politicians with practical experience of war and hardship, namely WWII. Guys like Eisenhower or Schmidt. They had little time spent on talking bull, their experiences of how bad stuff can become taught them some serious lessons on life that saved them from getting lost in imagination and dream dancing, turning things for the worse and the stupid, because with the hardship they had endured and saw the world suffering from they had learned responsibility, sense of duty, sense of realism, that so many, many, many politicians today seem to be completely free of. And they are carried by a crowd that even believes them their follies and mad fantasies, which again has its reasons. Stupid societies tolerate stupid politicians and bring them up. Stupid politicians help to stupidify and infantilize societies. Its a mutual feeding back, the one tells something about the state of the other. And so the one becomes worse due to the other, and vice versa. I dont expect to see a change in trend in my lifetime anymore. We flew higher than any civilization before us, all glory and greatness was ours, and we had a lasdsting poeace and amount sof freedoms and wealth unimaginable before - but we are now in a dive of increasing steepness that will end in just one way. And self-convinced ideologists and mentally ill psychopaths are not the kind of leaders that will save us. They will drive us deeper and deeper into the mess, being completely full of themselves over it.

In yesterdays news program there was an issue where the Danish Prime minister and the Leader of EU held a press meeting. They said they were glad a new leader had taken to steering wheel in USA.
Could not help thinking-Wonder if these two women in fact meant Once again we can pull America around in the arena-And they will not know it. Markus

- Not my problem-They(the American voters) picked Biden as their President-therefore their problems..I sleep well at night(when it comes to other countries politics that is)
What are the indication that the VP would be a bad President if Biden should resign ? As an outside I do not follow your politics in detail, that's why I asked.

You do when the majority of the people wanted Trump gone more than they wanted Biden.
