    The US may not back them, but it certainly doesn’t condemn them either. This is the tightrope that has been walked between the nuclear-armed parties of interest since the beginning of the conflict.

    Of course they are going to say that publicly. You know the back channels are entirely full bellied laughter and “what’s next?”

    I get that they are trying to do the “war isn’t so far from home” thing but it is a delicate balance to strike…as Ukraine well knows, an attack near your home is more likely to strengthen your resolve against the country that just attacked you.

    All of a sudden, the Biden administration is doing its best to betray Ukraine.

      This isn’t a new policy. They’re just reiterating the official US stance. Nothing has changed. This isn’t a betrayal or really anything newsworthy, it’s just your standard geopolitical cya.

    Of course they don’t, they aren’t interested in a decisive Ukrainian win. The US would be ecstatic if this war lasted a decade with Russia being stuck in a no win situation.
