Thanks for explaining because I was missing the point.Remember this started with me saying I didn't think Putin being "in New York on a January evening" would be much of a handicap in a debate against Biden. After all, he held a number of political and government positions in St Petersburg, which has a comparable winter climate.
It's perhaps an unavoidable circumstance of our differing political systems. Biden had to win a popularity contest. Putin had to be Keyser Soze.If the question is, which of the two is likely to be tougher in a debate - or in any other cirumstance - the answer is probably going to be Vladimir Putin.
I'm not sure which will turn out to be the more resilient form of government.
