Biden wobbles before Putin summit

Although underplayed by most of the media, it’s clear that President Joe Biden is wobbling on the eve of his Wednesday summit with Vladimir Putin.

Coming after Biden has broken from congressionally mandated sanctions on Putin’s Nord Stream II pipeline, has appeased Putin-enabled ransomware attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure, and has hinted at a withdrawal from Syria (a longtime Russian priority), Biden’s hesitation is problematic.
