Helsinki’s big moment
It’s going to be a big day in Helsinki, Finland.
Will President Trump heed Democrats and get back on the plane to come home – sending Vladimir Putin an unmistakable message of disgust and distrust now that 12 Russian intelligence officers have been named in an indictment charging them with interfering in our 2016 election? We probably shouldn’t hold our breath on this one.
Will the president abandon the winding down of the war in Syria to Putin – leaving the blood, sweat and tears of U.S. troops in vain so that Putin ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may stay in power?
Will Trump bless Moscow’s annexation of Crimea and its aggression in Ukraine, or will he tell the Russian president to back off?
