Biden's meeting with Putin will be spun by US propagandists as a huge success.
But anyone who has seen Biden asserting himself and Putin asserting himself, should be fearful of allowing Biden to meet one on one with Putin.
America doesn't choose it's leaders because of ability. That's flaw of most democracies that bites democracy's ass.
How about you try to make Canada more like a free country??

"Limits on Freedom of Expression: Israel
Limits on Freedom of Expression
Israeli law recognizes protection of freedom of speech as a constitutional principle. Protection extends to all forms and content of expression including freedom of the press and freedom to make a political speech."
Now.....how about where you live?
"Think Canada Allows Freedom of Speech? Think Again
This societal need to prosecute potty mouths and anything deemed offensive has become a popular trend in Canada. Most recently this has been transcended into anti-bullying laws introduced in legislatures all over the country.We have to be careful about legislating offensiveness. We cannot allow the government to decide what subjective comments are acceptable and which should land you in prison. Britain is taking steps to restore absolute freedom of speech, so should Canada.

On December 12, Lord Dear introduced a motion to reform section 5 from the Public Order Act 1986 in the British House of Lords. Section 5 says that a person is guilty of an offence in Britain if he
"uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting, within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby."
Essentially, it makes it illegal to insult anyone.
Reform Section 5, a campaign dedicated to removing the illegality of "insulting words or behaviour" from the law, has gotten a lot of attention in Britain with their slogan "Feel Free to Insult Me." They launched their mission after a man was arrested for asking a police officer, "do you realize your horse is gay?" A horse. While the officer himself admitted to not being insulted, he stated that the comment could have insulted anyone in the vicinity who heard it. Makes sense, right?
A teenager was later arrested for growling and woofing at two Labrador dogs in public, a café owner was investigated for showing biblical passages on a TV screen, and an LGBT group was arrested under section 5 for protesting anti-gay persecution in the Middle East. While one would hope such a law would only be used in extraordinary circumstances, it's actually very common."
