4:49 mark.
Hard to find podcasts that don't do clickbait - always with the KRASNOV "crumbling, crashing, dying, etc.," that don't deliver the goods. If KRASNOV wasn't "humiliated" when Meloonia brushed his hand away, doubtful that he was this time by MACRON either, since he's completely shameless, but at least it's out there in the eyes of the world. On the one hand KRASNOV couldn't perform his dictator tantrums in the stately venue of the Vatican and MACRON took canny advantage of that to stymie KRASNOV's arm wrestling in the handshake stunt.

Why would Macron want to get into another arm-pulling stunt with the Man-Baby?
As for President Zelenskyy? He's highly respected by our former allies and by many Americans who see the man as a true leader and fierce protectorate of his country and citizens.
Trump once again humiliates the United States on the world stage. He can't even dress himself appropriately. Or maybe that was another act of spite and defiance.
Ugh!

The NY Post ran a breathless lip reader's version of it as the good-to-see-you type coming from KRASNOV. So it was another piece of crassness of his whole trip, turning a meaningful spiritual exercise into a meet-and-greet shyster event. And their slant said "the world exhaled" hoping for world peace!
