The reactions of the U.S. polite to yesterday\u2019s press conference of President Trump and President Putin are highly amusing. The media are\u00a0losing their mind<\/a>. Apparently it was Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin and 9\/11 all in one day. War will commence tomorrow. But against whom?<\/p>\n

Behind the panic lie competing views of\u00a0Grand Strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rereading\u00a0the transcript<\/a>\u00a0of the 45 minutes long\u00a0press conference<\/a>\u00a0(vid) I find it rather boring. Trump did not say anything that he had not said before. There was little mention of what the two presidents had really talked about and what they agreed upon. Later on Putin said that the meeting was\u00a0more substantive than he expected<\/a>. As the two spoke alone there will be few if any leaks. To understand what happened we will have to wait and see how the situations in the various conflict areas, in Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere, will now develop.<\/p>\n

The \u2018liberal\u2019 side of the U.S. did its best to prevent the summit. The\u00a0recent Mueller indictment<\/a>\u00a0was timed to sabotage the talks. Before the meeting in Helsinki the New York Times\u00a0retweeted<\/a>\u00a0its three weeks old homophobic comic flick that shows Trump and Putin as lovers. It is truly a disgrace for the Grey Lady to publish such trash. After the press conference the usual anti-Trump operatives went ballistic:<\/p>\n
