Mr. Blinken having a mini-heart attack with Mr. Biden's answer is a meme material.

This lady from Iowa is wiser than the media and politician!

U.S. journalists are masters at stirring up trouble and creating conversation to grab headlines.

Sarah Lande is wise in that: 1) she focuses on a broader perspective with appreciation, and 2) she is constructive in her peacemaker role. May her tribe increase!

Blinken's reaction is priceless.

That woman knows how to stay clear from distraction, focusing on what really matters.

Only American politicians get to define "freedom", "democracy", "dictator".

The Iowa lady is more of a good leader than those in political arena. Regular people still have a good common sense. Very good.

The reporters need to stop trying to instigate the situation and derail things from going in good direction.

Kudos to her for speaking up for her friend. and telling what she really feels. it sure takes courage to do so under the present political atmosphere,

What a wise lady. Wish the reporters and the politicians could calm down and think for the country rather than their own short term benefits.

Xi Jinping is a calm and poised man, and anyone who can remember an old friend from 25 years ago is a man of affection.

We could all do to learn from Ms Lande’s perspective. Let’s be real, the reason why we are so spun up about the word “dictator” is because it carries a slant and is derogatory. It implies that if we can use that word, we can tell ourselves that our sh*t smells good and theirs stinks.

Fascinating! When people get to know each other as people - they see each other differently and can become friends.

She is a smart woman with wisdom

We need to hear more from this wise woman.

She asked he answered honestly, what was he supposed to do..deflect?

This old lady has much more wisdom than the broadcasters. The CNN needs to think about it, what is your vision, what is your vision to understand the target you are reporting. CNN needs to evolve and upgrade.

President Xi loved to take his entourage in an old bus to visit villages & towns around China during her early development. I saw these as a student in Beijing in 2004 & was a teacher there for 15 more years. He rarely gave advance notice as he wanted to see how local officials did their jobs & how they treated the people under them. He spent time talking to villagers and visited their homes wherever he went.

Dont sweat the small stuff. Both leaders have a lot of more important issues to deal with.
