Trump and gang really were a humiliation and a disgrace to america in this meeting. Like my god it felt like a bunch of elementary school bullies attacking the kid with a disability. What a shameful time to be an american.
@freemo I think from a geopolitical point of view this is more of a sign to US's adversaries that they aren't fooling around with the International Liberal Rules Based Order kinda thing, instead opting for a Might makes Right approach. I think this is a much required paradigm shift in a world in which the EU is essentially toothless (and dead in the water), befriending RU a bit is better than having a RU/CN alliance that would be impossible to deal with for the US in the long term.
Russia cant even win against Ukraine, they havent even tested the whole of the EU. The smart move would be to stand against such an evil power that can barely win a war against a tiny little country.
Also my how far we have come since the heros that stood up against hitler, clearly the more powerful entity at the time. Now we (or at least you) are ready to kiss the invaders feet because they appear to have more teeth.
@freemo Russia isn't winning against the Ukraine for a myriad of reasons. The technological edge from western weapon systems, tons of funding from EU and US, and conscripting half the country that didn't escape in time help a lot. There is however still a mass loss in life of both sides. If it wasn't Ukraine, we may have seen this fight itself out in Poland or Germany (although patriotism thanks to the denazification took a hit in recent decades, so results may vary. https://www.gallup-international.bg/en/33483/win-gallup-internationals-global-survey-shows-three-in-five-willing-to-fight-for-their-country/). If it wasn't for foreign support Ukraine would've ran out of gear and equipment in the first year, it is literally a partial proxy war.
As for the second paragraph, specifically the second paragraph; no. Just no. I am expressing my thoughts US's geopolitical position. I am not stating nor implying any support for whatever power in this case (I live in the well-regulated toothless one 
)
