I thought some of the comments were actually spot on, such as the one below, which got over 500 approvals yo 150 against. On balance, the comments were far more critical of US/UK belligerence towards Russia than the supportive. Which is why Burnham again is so out of touch with reality. Instead of thinking anew and changing course he is tamely parroting previous failed policies. Disappointing is hardly the word. Despair is fucking nearer.


Biden’s note, delivered by Johnson, stating he wasn’t ready for negotiation scuppered the Istanbul peace
initiative; that had already been agreed in principle by the Ukrainians.
How many lives have been lost because of that?
I despair for the people of Russia who must endure Putin.
I despair for the people of Ukraine.
And I despair that no one seems interested in negotiating peace.
