Helsinki FI. – During the
course of the press conference segment of the US-Russia summit,
Vladimir Putin handed Trump a soccer ball, telling him that the 'ball
is now in your court!' Trump handled it for only a moment, before
quickly tossing over to his wife, Melania. I wondered what the real
content of the subtext that existed in him presenting this 'gift'? The meanings could be
frivolous or they could be deep. I prefer to think that Trump may have been sending a
subtle message back to Putin, telling that both himself and his country
were of somewhat minor importance.
We must never forget that the U.S. And
Russia are competitors in the world, if not true enemies. What we
enjoy in America is the antithesis of what goes for government in
Russia. While the average American enjoys a free and open lifestyle,
there is little, in Russia, that is not under strict government
control. We represent Putin's worst fears concerning his ability to
remain in power.
