Diplomacy 101 Versus Politics Writ Small

The high professional quality of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's performance at their Monday press conference in Helsinki contrasts sharply with the obloquy by which the bipartisan U.S. ruling class showcases its willful incompetence.

For the sake of peace and adjustment of differences where those exist and adjustment is possible, Trump is willing to pay a political cost to improve those relations.

Trump, leaving no doubt that America's commitment to Israel's security is absolute, faced Putin with the choice of partnering with America in restraining Iran or of being drawn into an Israeli-American war against an Iran with whose forces Russia's are interwoven.

Putin, for his part, seemed to concur with Trump's priority.

The Associated Press reporter demanded that Trump state whether he believes the opinions of U.S. intelligence leaders or those of Putin.

Said Trump emphatically, those making the accusations against Russia have refused to let the server be examined by U.S. intelligence or by any independent experts.

So are the ruling class representatives who have redoubled their animus against Trump.
