It was like a scene out of a Chaplin or Mel Brooks movie, Russian thug and extortionist Vladimir Putin sitting at the end of a long, long table with French President Emmanuel Macron discussing Russia's aggression toward Ukraine for five hours.
Why the social super distance? Putin's bad breath? It turns out that President Macron refused to take a Russian COVID test before the meeting. While the French government declined to comment, apparently there was concern that Russians not get their hands on Macron's DNA via the testing swab. Smart move for the French. Better than the reckless Malignant Loser, who likely supplied Moscow with pints of his DNA over time.
