Base in AK where they met [View all]
Why would they have the meeting in a military base? AK is being built up with military to protect the Arctic shipping lanes. There would be a lot of information that would be useful to the Russians, who want to control those lanes and the resources there. The people with Putin would surely be able to interfere with intelligence stored or accessed at the base. The person in charge of detecting such interference is a 20-something former grocery clerk.
Was there ever an explanation for having it there? He shared sensitive intelligence with Russians during his first term. Why would he not so the same thing now?
