They don't care what happens to Putin. They kept saying escalation, escalation, escalation. All the time Ukrainian civilians are dying or wounded by the tens of thousands.
The powers that be do not want to see Russian break up into independent countries which it is quite likely to do over the next few years especially if there is a leadership vacuum at the top with several people fighting it out. They did not want to USSR to break up either.
Germany I do not understand. The German people are solidly behind Ukraine but the top people are not.
Thank you, Allen. I will look for books and other sources to find out what the Western position is visa vie Russia and Eastern Europe. At its core -- is there a core -- how clear -- how muddled....?? The intelligence arena may offer a path. We'll see what's available.
During our exchange, Allen, I remembered what Biden called Putin last March.. Here it is:
'President Joe Biden on Thursday called Vladimir Putin a “pure thug” and “murderous dictator,” his latest pointed attack against the Russian President as the war in Ukraine rages on.'
'Speaking at the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon on St. Patrick’s Day at Capitol Hill, Biden said Putin is “a murderous dictator, a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine.”
And earlier Thursday, in a meeting with Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach of Ireland, the President also zeroed in on the Russian leader, saying, “Putin’s brutality and what he’s doing and his troops are doing in Ukraine is just inhumane.”
The comments came a day after Biden called Putin a war criminal – a significant escalation in his rhetoric condemning the Russian leader’s actions against Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday Biden’s comments were “absolutely unacceptable and inexcusable.” (CNN)
I am not ready to believe that this country doesn't have a well defined policy with reference to Russia and Putin. Biden's verbal attacks of him were not a sign that we wanted to play nice. I'll get back to you, Will.

Thank you. As Will Rogers said, I only know what I read in the papers

I know all that.
I'll still get back to you.
