To the editor:
There was a frightening photo that was published inside the print edition of the Los Angeles Times on Dec. 5.
The photo showed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Russian President Vladimir Putin gleefully greeting each other with high fives, while our president was standing alone, stony and resigned, in the background.
They know they have gained what once was unthinkable—the upper hand. How have we come to this?
