I hear tell from Jen the Press PSecretary that President Biden has drawn a Red Rine with Vladimir Putin. Did Biden's National Security Advisor tell him that we are barely playing checkers (maybe tick tack toe) while Putin is playing 3-D chess? Jake Sullivan probably didn't bring that up because Jake is an idiot. At his all too tender age, the National Security Advisor is already a warmed over alumnus of the Obama Administration, where he helped craft such ingenious ventures as the Syrian fiasco (complete with its own very special, and meaningless Red Line) and the barely thought out Libyan adventure that destabilized the country without the slightest clue as to what the result might be.
The Red Line supposedly revolves about an “invasion”. So an internally engineered coup after destabilization, with Russian troops “requested” to intervene and restore order, crosses no Red Line. It's a familiar playbook.
President Biden was careful to chat with Ukrainian President Zalinsky for just about as long as he spoke with Putin. Uncle Joe's conscience will be clean in the aftermath, assuming he remembers all this.
Does anyone want to bet on the US having a coherent plan that has been vetted with our allies any more than we vetted the Afghan pullout?
