Do you agree with this headline on CNN.com?

US-Russia summit ends in partial win for Moscow, and a reversal on Europe

Then, this subhead: The talks, which didn't include Kyiv or Europe, handed the entire issue of peace to other negotiating teams, potentially delaying any results.

How is ceding land to Russia as the opening bid and cutting BOTH Zelensky and Europe out of the talks a PARTIAL win for Russia?

Remember, he suggested Putin should collaborate with our intelligence officers? I was horrified. That was back when he had “guard rails”

and his deer in the headlights look was worse than the infamous water drinking video from years ago. He looked like he was signaling for help with his eyes.
