Not weird at all..

This is textbook execution of a PM between asset and handler

Since there is no known comm barrier, no need for c/o to bring in a linguist

Oh there will be plenty of record, as venue will be 'prepped' well in advance.
You'd have to be incredibly stupid and or desperate to walk into that room alone.
Putin is a Counterintelligence Agent from the Cold War era how also happens to be leader of our nation's primary geopolitical rival..Trump on the other hand is a mental midget who can easily be manipulated..who also worships Putin..'alone time" can be disastrous to the US!!!
Utilizing 'casino' techniques and other tried and proven KGB tactics, Putin will soften up Trump and get him ready for debriefing..thanks to tech, Putin won't have to stop Trump to take notes or change tapes..esp since Trump won't STFU..
This time will also be used by Putin to fill in the blanks on Trump's asset dossier...after debrief, he'll transition to tasking..After the meeting, In addition to concessions, expect Trump to tweet out weird Kremlin propaganda!

#EpicFail
..and without anyone in there to interrupt and or shut Trump up, God only knows what all he'll 'confess' to his idol.

#Counterintelligence #Fail
Let’s not forget Trump is under CI/crim investigation for both his shady finances and for colluding with FISS..given those facts, it’s very odd to see him push for a one on one with Putin,head of FISS that helped him!!

#BadOptics
Ranging from secret service detail to White House staffers, a great deal of effort is undertaken to not only protect the POTUS from physical danger, but also insulate him from manipulation/exploitation..esp by FISS. By waving off all such measures, Trump is handing Putin a win!!!
Aside from the obvious audio video surveillance measures implemented, with advanced notice, they could fit in other tech measures that can provide Ru intel bio data about Trump. Him being the only one in the room makes targeted collection much easier!

#TSCM #Fail
Withiut DoS personnel/US press in the room, this will give Putin the upper hand in controlling the message...and given their expertise in subversion, it’ll be hard for US to push back..

Then there’s the issue of what our allies think about all this..and what they believe...
..and more importantly, how they react!

It goes without saying both will have significant impact on our #natsec.
GOP senators that are currently in Ru are too busy licking Putin’s and his cronies boots to have the sense to consider abovementuoned facts..or optics, for that matter.

In the end, they’ll give Putin the ammo he needs to undermine the US globally..
It goes without saying that Putin can’t be trusted..but in this, you can’t trust Trump either.

Trump, who hasn’t divested from his personnel businesses, is currently duelhatting as both the POTUS and de facto head of Trump International.
This is where the art of the deal gets tricky..in a secret setting, is Trump trading US interests to further his business interests..ie recognition of Crimea as Russian for a future Trump Tower Moscow?

The US State Department on Friday announced it would cut $200m in aid for the occupied West Bank and Gaza, apparently at the direction of US President Donald Trump.

middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-d…
On Saturday, the Israel Television News Company reported that Trump intends to demand the number of Palestinians recognised as refugees by 90 percent.
It’s obvious that Bibi is now dictating US foreign policy..unfortunately, it’s neither good for the US, nor Israel..also highlights the problem with intertwining politics and natsec!!!

Earlier this month it was reported that Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, had put pressure on Jordan to strip the refugee status of more than two million registered Palestinians residing there.

middleeasteye.net/news/trump-cal…
Following that report, Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation's executive committee, said Kushner's move was part of a broader effort by him and the Trump administration to render UNRWA irrelevant and halt its work.
In January, the US announced it would withhold $65m of $125m that it had planned to send to UNRWA, which is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from UN states, including those from the United States.

That is the problem with personalizing the war against groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State: We inflate our enemies into larger-than-life villains who reflect our fears rather than their own capabilities.

We did it with Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki, and now we are doing it with Ibrahim al-Asiri.
By talking about them as masterminds with irreplaceable skillsets, the United States projects the mistaken impression that if they could only be killed, the terrorist threat would be greatly reduced.

"Somewhere between a quarter and a third of all marine species everywhere has some part of their life cycle in coral reefs,"
"So, you take out coral reefs and a third to a quarter of all species gets wiped out. Now that is ecological chaos, it is ecological collapse."

The United States is certainly aware of how poorly the coalition is prosecuting the war.

How can it not be?

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The US provides aerial targeting assistance to the coalition, for Pete’s sake, along with intelligence sharing and mid-flight aerial refueling for coalition aircraft.
And of course, the US supplies (with the UK) the bulk of the coalition’s weapons. Lots of them. Hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth.

“You’re going to see some increase in prices. The supply chain is going to become more costly and you’ll pay more in the short term, but here’s the way I look at China: Pay now or pay later.”

Risk of a double-cross

The problem for Brussels is that no one can tell for sure whether the U.S. president will stick to that plan described by Senator Graham.
Brussels reckons that U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer supports the approach, but one diplomat conceded “no one knows” whether Trump will stick to the plan.
