more of story:

“...If the formula that Kissinger and Stoltenberg propose returns to the Western agenda, the warring parties will in effect return to something like the Minsk II framework – which the United States sabotaged in the advent of the present war. A peace agreement is deeply to be desired, but the character of any possible peace will make clear that the war was unnecessary to begin with....”

The text of the speech that has everyone in buzz: link.

The anti-Ukraine press is trying too hard to read into this what Biden did not say.

This was a fundraiser. He was trying to raise money. He often tries to make him self look tough by talking down about someone else. Zelensky was a convenient target. He also said he was telling European leaders "America is back" when they would know better. The speech built himself up at the expense of Zelensky and other European leaders, who definitely noticed it.

This speech was for show, not substance. There is no policy shift here.

“That’s a turnabout from April 25, when Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declared in Kyiv that the United States wanted to destroy Russia’s capacity to undertake wars on this scale: “We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”

What the US missed was that the Pencil-Heads in the Pentagon who imposed “Just-in-Time” production to military hardware (as opposed to paying the cost of housing huge quantities of munitions) never assumed that their Russian counterparts (who most likely graduated from the same US business schools) would be LAUGHED OUT OF THE KREMLIN when they tried that crap there. The Russians said keeping the munitions around was harmless and could be very useful...as we now see.

So, guess which side has the munitions to go decades, and guess which side has to try to resurrect people from the dead to figure out how to produce them again? No, it’s not that hard to figure it out.
