Some Casual Talking Points For Obama And Putin’s Meeting Today

President Obama is sitting down to chat with Vladmir Putin on Monday after the UN General Assembly meeting. The two leaders haven ‘t met with one another in over a year and are expected to discuss Syria ‘s civil war and Russia ‘s efforts to fight ISIS.
That ‘s pretty heavy stuff IMHO. It ‘s necessary to talk about, of course, but there is no way the two buds (not sure if that ‘s what they consider themselves to be?) can jump into that as soon as they sit down. They have to make some informal chit chat before tackling ISIS. So here are some topics either leader can use to help ease the conversation from 0 to 100.
