  1. Biden's approach to dealing with Putin has been weak, showing a lack of power in interactions. Instead of standing strong, he's been hesitant which gives Putin an advantage.
  2. The idea of a summit with a dictator like Putin is questioned because it doesn’t seem to benefit the U.S. It's important to show strength instead of making deals for peace.
  3. Biden needs to take serious action, like stopping an important pipeline and supporting Ukraine and Georgia. Without strong moves, the situation may only get worse for Western democracies.
