Putin, Xí and other strongmen haven’t congratulated Biden yet.
A strongman cannot afford to be weak, and Putin knows it.
The strongman has allies on the global stage, including Russia, China, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Honduras, whose officials congratulated Maduro on his win.
The Turkish strongman knows this.
He also left the conference to fly onward to Slovakia and Hungary, two countries led by strongmen sympathetic to Trump.
