Geneva

We just saw the French Open tennis tournament. Like any other tennis tournaments this was not any different, except a few surprises. But that's not important. What I want to address now is something different.

Two players are on the field, each trying to better the other. Win at any costs is the slogan. This is not a contact sport but if the opponent gets hurt even better. Throughout the game they are eyeing each other with hateful eyes. If looks could kill these matches would be a lot shorter. 

After the game they all do the mandatory interview which is basically each player plays homage to the opponent. Each player notes what a great opponent the other one was. This is nothing but a mutual admiration society meeteing.

Today, Biden and Putin met in Geneva. These two hate each other like no others. Each one would be happy if the other did not exist yet, they thk  in a cordial atmosphere. What each privately think of the other is not yet known but surely there is animosity.

After they met, they each held press conferences where they expressed their feelings toward the other. Just like the tennis players each one remarked what a great guy the other one was.

At least in tennis the winner gets around $2,000,000 while the loser just $1,000,000. I wonder how much the Geneva players got?
