“To the amazement of likely every credible diplomat on the planet, Putin was allowed to speak first. As the host of the summit, Trump should have handled the opening to their joint remarks. Any White House with a shred of institutional knowledge would have insisted on that. Instead, the Russian dictator was the alpha male and he proceeded to repeat a litany of Kremlin talking points, laughably accusing former president Joe Biden of somehow causing the war in Ukraine. Putin even parroted the U.S president’s oft-repeated lie that the war would have never happened had Trump been in office at the time of the Russian invasion. Putin knows flattery gets you everywhere with Trump, even when it’s delivered with his patented KGB smirk - undoubtedly a face palm moment for leaders across much of Europe.”

Nothing like hosting a war criminal on US soil.
"It was apparent from the get-go that Putin landed in Anchorage with all of the leverage in this encounter with Trump."
"the Russian dictator was the alpha male"
"his subservience to the Russian dictator"
That pretty much says it all.
