    Yes but before that he said this:

    I would pull back on the U.S. military support. I would sit down with the elites from the Chinese empire, given all of their forms of regimentation and repression in their own context. Think about our precious Muslim brothers and sisters in China, the Uyghurs. But I would sit down with the Chinese. I would sit down with the Ukrainians. I would sit down with the Russians, say, “We’re going to stop this war, and we’re going to come up with a plan, a process, with a variety of voices heard, to make sure that the suffering stops and we understand and we’re honest about the larger context of the war.”

    which is a little bit more concrete than the second paragraph which Norman quoted. Fink rightly (imo) criticise the flowery "jazz man" stuff he goes on with but he does omit the more concrete first paragraph of his response.

    I was a bit disappointed to see him standing for the "People's Party" as the grifter alarms are blaring over there but it's always hard to dislike brother West.

    I doubt he'll get minute one on the msm for his "campaign" and it will be interesting, and possibly disappointing, to see how that actually progresses.
