WNU Editor: There is a good collection of photos of today's summit at the Daily Mail .... Biden and Putin's showdown starts with a VERY awkward photo op: Joe says 'it's better to meet in person' as face-off begins with little eye contact, few words spoken and aides telling press to 'go away' (Daily Mail).
These photo's show how awkward the situation is. Take it from this Putin watcher. When I see Russian President Putin "man spreading", I know that is his signal of telling the other person "f___ you". It is a Russian thing.
