The United States will consider every means to advance diplomacy with Russia if it sees an opening, but at the moment Moscow shows no sign of willingness to engage in meaningful talks, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday.

"Every indication is that far from being willing to engage in meaningful diplomacy, President Putin continues to push in the opposite direction," Blinken said at a press conference with his French counterpart Catherine Colonna.

"We consider and will consider every means to advance diplomacy if we see an opening to advance it by whatever means, of course we'll always look at it," he said, but added that Moscow was instead "doubling and tripling down" on its aggression.

"And Mexico and Canada are *not* playing host as launching pads for Russian weapons aimed at the US."

That's because the United States is not like Russia, and they don't want to be enslaved by the Russians, either.

Oh I think once Putin obtains all his objectives he’ll pull back - unfortunately Ukraine will then say what a great victory - even though Putin will have secured his landbridge and left Ukraine with mountains of rusting metal throughout their country........and a population of widowed and fatherless children.

“That’s because the United States is not like Russia, and they don’t want to be enslaved by the Russians, either.”

You found an acorn, good for you. The two countries are not alike.

The US is aiming weapons at Russia on their border. Russia is not aiming weapons at the US on it’s border.

Humanity itself is on trial here, and you have failed to meet even the minimum standards. Reality will be unkind to you.

No disrespect to you, but, despite my pro-Ukraine stance, I’m not much impressed at all with the Biden Admin’s handling of this war, and Blinken is high on my list of “unimpressed.”

Anybody know what Minister Colonna had to say? If she backed up Blinken, I’d be more, well, “impressed” with Blinken’s statements.

"The US is aiming weapons at Russia on their border. Russia is not aiming weapons at the US on it’s border."

That's too bad for the nation that enslaved the neighbors on its borders before but good for those neighbors who didn't want to suffer under communist slavery again and good for all of the more free countries.

Gee Whiz, it must be painful that Nazis, Blinken and Biden know they are beaten.

Joe Biden is a mean-spirited stupid criminal pig and Blinken works for him.
