The Russian Red Line Washington Won’t Cross—Yet

Calmer heads better prevail. Though it’s clear Washington is lead by the criminally insane. The chance for negotiated settlement was real and possible back in March of last year and the US shot that down ( pun intended), so the US could fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. Now the author is suggesting the US […]
