Two, sick old tired world leaders met in Alaska today. They looked so sick that polar bears probably would avoid them out of fear of food poisoning.
Initial thoughts:
I do not think it was a good idea to have the flyover or to have all those F-22 Raptors near the red carpet at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, especially in light of Ukraine's successful drone attacks on Russian air force bases.
Many Russians are going to take it as an American attempt to humiliate Vladimir Putin, that we were showing off our military prowess.
I was surprised that Putin mentioned the Lend Lease Act that helped supply the Soviet Union during World War II. Whether that portion of his long-winded speech got broadcast in Russia is anyone's guess at this point.
