Biden is playing a long game with Putin. Will it work?: ANALYSIS
In Geneva and in the weeks that follow, President Joe Biden is testing his own approach to Vladimir Putin’s Russia and his aggression — on the world stage, in cyberspace and against his domestic opposition. After their afternoon summit in the Swiss capital, Biden said give him time to see if his approach works — trying to play to Putin’s long desire to have Moscow seen as a key power, respected and feared around the globe. For his part, Putin reveled in the role of world statesman again and the platform the summit gave him — smiling before the cameras, fielding questions from several reporters, and defending his government on human rights, foreign interventions, and cyber space.
