Austin is stating the obvious. Of course the U.S. wants Russia to have a weaker military. So does everyone else in Europe right now. Why is this so hard to understand?

Because he says it out loud. Bad idea to tell a paranoid megalomaniac that you really are out to get him. It makes it harder to get him.
“We want to see Ukraine remain a sovereign country, a democratic country able to protect its sovereign territory. We want to see Russia weakened to the point where it can’t do things like invade Ukraine.”
This is a stunning bombshell! How could he say something so controversial? Quick, someone call Putin and apologize!
Soros thanks you for your contribution
Who exactly is weakening Russia’s military capabilities? Whose blood is being shed to achieve that objective? What level of destruction of Ukraine will we accept to degrade Russia’s military? What is the definition of winning?
If we deem the weakening of Russia’s military capabilities so important, why not put US and NATO troops on the ground and in the air?
