“#Biden’s summit with Putin only made the US seem weaker<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

President Joe Biden refused a joint news<\/a> conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin following their first summit on Wednesday to avoid a PR disaster. Yet the Moscow strongman still won the day.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Biden actually got angrier with an American journalist than with the dictator, who used his opportunity to deny, deflect and deceive \u2014\u00a0raising his own standing at Biden\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n

Just a day before, off the Hawaiian coast, Russia\u2019s Navy conducted military exercises on a scale not seen since the Cold War. The provocation cost Putin nothing: The summit ended with Biden calling the meeting\u2019s tone \u201cpositive\u201d and Putin declaring, \u201cThere has been no hostility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, Biden claimed he took Putin to task for the attempted murder of critic Alexei Navalny and the imprisonment of two Americans. If Navalny dies in prison, said Biden, \u201cI made it clear to him that the consequences of that will be devastating for Russia\u201d \u2014\u00a0though he didn\u2019t detail any consequences. And he said he chided Putin for letting hackers disrupt US oil supplies from Russian soil. Yet Biden insisted he\u2019d made \u201cno threats.\u201d<\/p>\n

He handed Putin a list of 16 critical infrastructure elements that should be off-limits to cyberattacks \u2014 does he then mean he\u2019s fine with Russia or criminals operating from there striking anything else? Russia\u2019s interference in other countries\u2019 elections, Biden also told Putin, \u201cdiminishes\u201d its standing. Yet Russia isn\u2019t going to change its bad behavior in the hopes of being liked.<\/p>\n

Putin, meanwhile, took questions for nearly an hour, turning them against America. When a US reporter asked about his ban on Navalny\u2019s group, he pointed to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and said that \u201cwe don\u2019t want that to happ<\/a>en on our territory.\u201d Biden called that \u201ca ridiculous comparison,\u201d but Putin is playing to his own audience.<\/p>\n

Biden had kicked off his chat with reporters by admitting his staff as usual \u201cgave me a list of who I\u2019m going to call on.\u201d Later, he lashed out at CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins when she called out, \u201cWhy are you so confident [Putin will] change his behavior?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not confident he\u2019ll change his behavior! What the hell? What do you do all of the time?\u201d fumed Biden.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it: The day was not a success for Biden or for America. Putin basically mocked his counterpart \u2014 and the United States \u2014 while Biden appeared weak and unfocused. America might\u2019ve come out stronger if there\u2019d been no summit at all.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
