F-35s shake the building here when they take off, and I'm a good mile from the runway. I can't imagine being parked in a stadium or being out in the open, red carpet or not, and having one buzz the area, Plus, they also got buzzed by B-1 bombers. I don't know if it was Putin or one of his doubles, but apparently the guy ducked a few times.

They knew going in they were going to get jack shit. The Russians, however, had a team that was top heavy with financial people, and I think they were hoping for some concessions on sanctions for another bogus cease fire. I'm hoping they didn't get jack shit, either.
