Of course they are going to say that publicly. You know the back channels are entirely full bellied laughter and "what's next?"
-
"Yeah, you guys shouldn't be doing that. Anyway..."
-
I do.

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.
-
Russia should probably just leave Ukraine then.
-
That's ultimately going to happen.

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.
