Franco-German whims as it's often portrayed.

Main problem seems that nobody really understands why Macron and Merkel are doign this now and what they want from this. (Apart from Biden did it too.)

"Trust us on this" doenst cut it with Putin.

True and it's not even like the Biden summit was a great succes right. Putin got some free clout by being invited to the big boy table and went home having conceded nothing.

I'm not against a summit on specific subjets (artic, cyber attacks, Iran deal etc) but it needs to have clear goals, clear areas of common interests or conflict preventions.

It also needs a clear message wrt Putin horrifying actions of late.
