Reporters asked the former POTUS about Russian interference in our 2016 election and the ex-Suck Up in Chief said there was &#8220;no reason why&#8221; Russia would interfere. It was a downright disgraceful denigration of our intelligence network that concluded the Russians did what everyone knew they did.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden won&#8217;t give Putin a shared platform. He is dealing with the Russian dictator from a position of strength. President Biden&#8217;s predecessor sought to elevate Putin&#8217;s standing by appearing <em>with<\/em> him in Helsinki.<\/p>\n<p>What I find particularly appealing about the Biden approach is that his presser will occur after Putin speaks. That will give President Biden a chance to refute whatever lies fly out of Putin&#8217;s pie hole after the men have their meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The president and the Russian despot will have plenty to discuss. I trust they&#8217;ll get to cover some of the issues that went unspoken when Putin met with the previous POTUS.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to what we can learn about the nature of U.S.-Russia relations.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By John Kanelis \/ johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com President Biden has made the right call in deciding to conduct a separate press conference after he and Russian goon\/strongman Vladimir Putin conclude their first summit on Wednesday.
