“… A Washington Post opinion columnist claimed that “Biden wiped the smirk off Putin’s face.” In reality, however, Putin left the meeting with a much broader naughty-boy smile. Biden… cancelled Trump’s veto on the controversial Russian gas trunk-pipeline to Germany. He did something even more amazing; he presented a list of 16 critical infrastructure “entities” in the US which he wanted Putin not to target in cyber-attacks, or face unspecified “consequences”. Does this mean that, as long as he spares those highly sensitive targets, Putin would have a free hand in doing cyber mischief across the US?”
