The war in Ukraine has proved very useful to Washington for Biden’s project of re-vitalizing the Atlantic Alliance of “the West”. There is no political option for Washington to put on the “realist” brakes to military support for Ukraine in an election year. The big problem and question for the US is does it support continued war in 2025 and beyond. And is Washington at all ready to bargain with Moscow for a peace tolerable (let alone stable) for the key parties to the conflict. The only certainty is that the world needs this war to end, the sooner the better.
You were great in the Piers Morgan interview - I just watched it today. You were able to navigate his many rhetorical traps that he laid - and did so quite brilliantly. Nice work!
Phillip Pilkington had an interesting piece about what's gonna happen politically if Russia scores a big victory AFTER this aid package goes through? They invested all that political capital arguing that if you don't support it then Putin will win. If he wins anyway it will make them look real bad.
Can you imagine if Russia had 'other boots on the ground' and weapons from another country, the West will go ballistic.
We are heading to a WW3 because Biden won't make a treaty.
Wish Meersheimer and others were in charge.

Professor Mearsheimer,
Here's an article stating that NATO troops in combat gear showing their flag have been deployed to Ukraine.

This looks like spam not the actual Mearsheimer.
I agree.
Wow, who would have thought that a senescent head of state would turn out to be a liability?
FOUR MORE YEARS … PAUSE
We haven’t learned the lesson of Vietnam yet. Our foreign policy establishment still thinks we can bomb the world into submission.
There is too much money to be made to stop now.

Can't wait to listen.
