Tit for Tat

 

I remember many years ago the Vietnam Talks had a hard time starting because of the seating arrangements at the big conference table, like who would sit where. If I remember correctly, everybody wanted to sit at the head of the table.

The problem was solved by bringing in a big around table.

Now, we have a serious meeting between President Biden and President Putin. I’m sure pre-talks rules were held by underlings to keep every equal but respectful for each.

I just saw a live picture of the two presidents standing side by side before their serious meeting was to start.

I noticed that Biden is taller than Putin. Opps!

Evidently the USSR underling did not notice that.

Height represents superiority.

I think if their heights were caught, they would have Putin stand on a stepstool and the camera people would be instructed only to photograph the two leaders from the chest up. Problem solved.
