The invasion Vladimir Putin thought would last days is now in its fourth month. The Ukrainian people surprised Russia and inspired the world with their sacrifice, grit and battlefield success...
As the war goes on, I want to be clear about the aims of the United States in these efforts.
America’s goal is straightforward: We want to see a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression....
That’s why I’ve decided that we will provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets...
We will continue cooperating with our allies and partners on Russian sanctions, the toughest ever imposed on a major economy. We will continue providing Ukraine with advanced weaponry....
We will also send billions more in financial assistance, as authorized by Congress. We will work with our allies and partners to address the global food crisis that Russia’s aggression is worsening. And we will help our European allies and others reduce their dependence on Russian fossil fuels, and speed our transition to a clean energy future.
We do not seek a war between NATO and Russia. As much as I disagree with Mr. Putin, and find his actions an outrage, the United States will not try to bring about his ouster in Moscow. So long as the United States or our allies are not attacked, we will not be directly engaged in this conflict, either by sending American troops to fight in Ukraine or by attacking Russian forces....
Ukraine’s talks with Russia are not stalled because Ukraine has turned its back on diplomacy. They are stalled because Russia continues to wage a war to take control of as much of Ukraine as it can....

If we're going to argue over his policies, we might as well get is straight from the source, instead of the Gateway Pundit, who got it from one of the bigger new sites, who all get it from the New York Times.
All the discussion over posts that are second and third hand removed from original sources detract from the discussion.
Now pardon me as I put on my flame proof suit, and await reasoned and other comments.
Translation : we want to rebuild our corrupt libtard ‘democracy’ and keep the laundromat gravy train flowing like a river 🤪
Okay, so they are going with guns, abortion, and Putinmanbad. Of course they will continue to have Trump and “racism” as offshoots. Actually, I don’t know what else they can do. I don’t think we need to worry about them solving anything and getting the political benefits.
What America will do? More like what the uniparty crooks will.
He sure as hell doesnt speak for me.
Who cares mushroom clouds?
‘Cause this war has allowed,
Me to puff, puff,
Puff Putin.. in Ukraine.
Puff Putin in the morning, puff him in the noon time,
Puff Putin at the dinner time!
I never get tired of puffin’ Putin!
All of Free Republic’s neocons agree with Joe Biden.
A scenario...
Biden: Come on man. Vladimir, can’t we make a deal?
Putin:. Nyet.
Biden: C’mon man, Hunter, Jim and me have our retirement portfolios in the Ukraine.
Putin: Okay, what ya got?
Biden: We will give you east of the Donba...Donbass and noorth...zzz
Aid: Mr. President??

Very presumptuous, arrogant and imperial sort of comment coming from the vegetable that was imposed on us by America's own Praetorian Guard.
Do you have the ability "to bring out his ouster," Joe? Maybe he will bring about your ouster instead? who will be around longer?
“We want to see a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression....”
I think we’re gonna need a bigger coup…
Interesting, but not to be taken at face value.
We WILL give them our baby formula.
I’d say it’s likely that America will re-build Ukraine while Europe watches.
Then why did SecDef Floyd Austin say the goal was to weaken Russia?... NY Slimes wow
Gosh, I read FReepers telling us Ukraine would win in less than 2 months!
Whatever Biden says is irrelevant: any actual decisions are made by whatever Dem faction is currently controlling foreign policy in the junta in power in DC. You can see that in the HIMARS decision: first foot dragging, then no, then yes.
They’re probably busy doing nothing stuff.
They’re probably busy doing OTHER stuff.
There's the old saying about shooting at a wall and then painting a target around wherever you hit so you could claim you hit the target dead center.
What the US is doing is another version in that whatever the Russian military hits with their strategy, the US will paint a target way off to the side and claim the Russians missed the target by a mile.
If the Ukraine leadership had chosen to abandon the country with the first shots, the Russians apparently were prepared to establish order, but I've seen no evidence that Russia went into the conflict expecting anything but a campaign lasting months.
“The invasion Vladimir Putin thought would last days is now in its fourth month”
They keep making this claim as though it is factual.
“They’re probably busy doing OTHER stuff”.
Is that an excuse you’re giving them for them to do nothing?
