Probably hear a lot of "Thank you for this opportunity, Mr. President" or something along those lines.

Seriously, I'm absolutely certain they'll be taking every measure possible to make sure they don't have another incident like when he met the mother's of the Kursk sailors and one was sedated and removed while on camera.

I remember watching that. Just awful.

What amazed me then is that if the US had experienced such a disaster and then the profound mismanagement it would have resulted in the leadership being ousted and prosecuted. Yet, he managed to stay in power.

Remember, this was the relative beginning. There had been some hope that Russia had been democratizing, gaining accountability, etc.

But nope. And it has only gotten worse.
