“Is this US policy? If so, why have we not been told?”
It is DEFINITELY US policy, because it’s on a .gov website and because we constantly hear it slipping out from government officials.
...and the thing is, since it is NOT a secret, virtually EVERY Russian knows this (since the Russian media obviously jumped all over it) and that’s why support for their Ukraine operation is ROCK SOLID.
“It is DEFINITELY US policy, because it’s on a .gov website...”
Umm, you realize that Russia is a member of the CSCE, right? So I guess that makes it official Russian government policy too, by your reasoning.
