...so, basically this U.S. president is using Russian attacks on civilians to pressure Ukraine into a posture of surrender to whatever the convicted felon and the war criminal decide.

(61,033 posts)since there's no ceasefire, then negotiations? TSF has no idea of the appropriate protocol for such events. First of all, don't roll out the red carpet for a war criminal. Don't treat him as an equal. Don't applause the war criminal as he approaches on the red carpet. Don't hold it on an airbase with top secret weapons all around.
Call it off when you learn that Putin has staged a drone attack on Kyiv at the very hour of the summit.
Show some effin strength, Taco.
