I yelled to Putin why do you fear navalny so much. Putin heard me and didn’t answer. Biden flashed me a big toothy grin. pic.twitter.com/Z8pFbPDgtO

At the press conference following the summit with Biden, Putin’s tone was much different compared to Helsinki debacle with Trump:
This change in tone from Putin after meeting with Biden compared to when he ran wild as Trump groveled at his knee at their joint press conference says it all. America now has a president that Putin must respect. pic.twitter.com/TpBslEpTQD

President Biden has replaced Putin’s hand-picked lap dog in the Oval Office. Republicans were hoping that the Biden-Putin summit would fail, but it has delivered the biggest success possible.
President Biden’s first foreign trip has been a smashing success. Unlike the rambling carnival of toxicity, humiliation, conflict, and failure under the last guy, Biden has returned the United States back to its spot as the world’s greatest superpower.
There is much work to be done, but President Biden showed that he is the president who can fix what went so wrong over the previous four years.
America is back, and Putin has been back in his place and is forced to respect the United States president.
