What does Russia REALLY want ?
Here is the dipsh*t quote of the year
Quote:
“The Russian people don’t need a war with Ukraine. They don’t need their sons coming home in body bags. They don’t need another foreign adventure. What they need is better healthcare, build back better, roads, schools, economic opportunity.”
Senior Administration Official on U.S. Diplomatic Engagement Regarding Our Ongoing Commitment to Ukraine’s Sovereignty, Territorial Integrity, and Independence - United States Department of State
A whole interview was published and released on the State Dept web site by an unnamed " senior Administration official". That is a problem in itself . What happened ? Was that official too embarrassed by that nonsense to have the name of the official released ?
Americans don't want Build Brandon Better . What makes this official think the Russians want it ? Maybe annexing Ukraine is Putin's idea of building Russia back better . He did say that the dissolution of the Soviet Union was a tragedy . Does this unnamed official think Putin gives a Rat's A$$ what the people of Russia want ?
When was the last time the State Dept,or Clueless ,or the compliant press mentioned the Budapest Memorandum in discussions regarding Russia's pressure campaign against Ukraine . That was the agreement in 1994 where Ukraine would return Soviet nukes to Russia in exchange for Russia honoring Ukraine independence.
He did not honor that . But no problem because his real concerns are for a Russian build back better . There must be a lot of JFKerry disciples left at State . Of course you remember when he said of Putin in 2014 “You just don’t in the 21st century behave in 19th-century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pretext.”
Well clearly time and time again that is exactly how Putin ,and Xi and many other despot leaders of the world behave. For our State Department to naively believe otherwise is dangerous to American security .
