My Take On Today's Trump-Putin Meeting

WNU Editor: RT is reporting that Syria, Ukraine, Cybersecurity (election hacking?), and fighting terrorism were discussed. I expect more details will be released later. As to what is my impression .... the meeting was slated for 35 - 40 minutes ..... they talked for over 2 hours plus. When you look at the pictures and videos before the meeting .... Putin was distant and Trump was Trump. After the meeting, you can tell that Russian President Putin was relieved .... and Trump was Trump. But when they shook hands for the cameras before they left .... you can tell by their body language and the serious looks on their faces that they made progress (At least that IMHO is what they were projecting). Will this translate into real progress down the line .... hmmmm .... that is another story, and I guess we will have to wait and see. I will be updating this story later tonight .... or first thing tomorrow morning.

Update: Yup .... this is so true, and why these summits are necessary .... ‘Phone talks obviously not enough’: Putin & Trump meet on sidelines of G20 summit (VIDEO) (RT).

Vladimir Putin Denies To Trump's Face That Russia Hacked The Presidential Election

Ok. That ends that far left story, right? Putin would not tell a lie.

More trustworthy than most democrats. The last honest democrat was maybe kennedy?

"Will this translate into real progress down the line?" That depends on whether or not the necessary work to move this process actually follows from today's meeting. That'll take time to tell.
