Things Every American Should Know Before the Trump-Putin Helsinki meeting:
1. Exactly who is Vladmir Putin, the Russian leader our president is about to meet with in Helsinki? And what does he want?
It’s a complicated question. But here’s what we do know…
2. Putin is a murderer. He has ordered the assassinations of political adversaries and used outlawed chemical weapons to do it. He oversees Russian military units that shot down Malaysian flight 17 and murdered almost 300 civilians.
3. Putin is a crook and a liar. He has broken almost every agreement he has signed with the United States, including on Syria and Ukraine. He has become one of the world's richest men through embezzlement and stealing from his own people.

Well, Trump is a crook and a liar, too, so there's that.
God help us.
