Unless Obama has two left arms, the top photo shows Putin toasting someone else. Two different toasts - not the same toast from a different angle.

The first photo shows Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the UN, toasting with Putin. The second photo that purports to show Obama and Putin toasting has obviously been Photoshopped.

They’re probably toasting to Netanyahu not being there.

Man, when Obama doesn’t like someone, his body language really makes no effort to hide it.

Putin is a European and Obama is a cosmopolitan guy. They probably did not toast “something” as is the case in the USA but just to the evening as in Salut! which means friendly times or good times to friends. Its pretty vulgar not do that in most parts of the world.

Its a Rose Campaign too…so the beginning of the evening. In Russia you ALWAYS toast…even if you are just drinking water. You do it at the start of the evening before food and it is done by clinking the glasses together without saying anything if you choose not to.

Sweet Jeebus, what a giant nothing burger. Obama and Putin didn’t toast one another – notice how all the other glasses raised as well?

It’s an international meeting with international rules. They all lift their glasses in celebration of the moment…the times. There does not have to be anything else.

I agree, that was my point. This is just American cultural ignorance combined with political “gossip” to produce click-bait.

Ahh… That’s nothing Trump would’ve cracked the bottle over his head and made him pay to replace it.

Putie’s been sporting his most delicious old honey trap bottom smile for Charlie Rose and the cameras but the President ain’t buying it…

There’s some serious hating going on. The president ought to tell us what he saw when HE looked into Pootie’s soul.
