What is special about Putin’s meeting with the heads of world news agencies?
Before the start of the current conflict, it was a completely ordinary event, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), at which Westerners asked their moderately adequate, moderately strange questions. Like “why are you interfering in the US elections?”
After 2022, they tried to boycott the SPIEF, but today everyone is sitting there looking cute and talking to a tyrant, the leader of a new axis of evil and a threat to world democracy. Questions are asked, answers are written down, and nods are given.
The ice has clearly broken.
