.MaddowBlog: Russia’s Pres. Putin has no doubt noticed the dramatic change at the White House after the first Biden-Putin phone meeting.

Yesterday, Putin has his first phone meeting with President Joe Biden, and it's probably fair to say the Russian leaderbetween the current American president and his predecessor. NBC News reported:

Biden discussed a five-year extension to New START, the strategic arms reduction treaty, "agreeing to have their teams work urgently to complete the extension by February 5," the White House said. Biden also reaffirmed the U.S.'s "firm support for Ukraine's sovereignty," raised concerns over the Solar Winds hack on the federal government that has been linked by U.S. officials to Russia, and media reports of Russia placing bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.

On the surface, none of this would be especially notable. An American president took a stand in support of American principles and priorities during a call with his Russian counterpart. It's entirely in line with expectations and diplomatic norms.added, yesterday's Biden-Putin call"stands out for how different it was in both substance and tone from how Trump routinely spoke to Putin throughout his presidency — with deference and praise.

"Finally we have a president who will confront Putin on the real issues at hand," said Alina Polyakova, president of the Center for European Policy Analysis in Washington."This was the wish list for everything that should have been discussed for the last four years, but wasn't."
