Guardian: Reports " Russian foreign minister warns west over ‘aggressive line’ in Ukraine crisis....Sergei Lavrov says Moscow may be forced to ‘eliminate unacceptable threats to our security’ following Biden-Putin call "
Lets Get Real:
There is a difference between making THREATS and carrying them out, the Russians want something as a way to dial back the crisis, they have developed this crisis, NOW under Western THREAT of economic sanctions they want to back off, the question is HOW. The Biden Oval cannot agree to any of the Russian demands, if he did Biden would kiss his re-election goodbye, after Afghanistan Biden and the Democrats cannot afford another major foreign policy failure. Thus what can the West give to Putin that does not cost anything, could Ukraine agree not to formally apply for NATO membership for ten years, by then either the Ukraine joins or Putin does not make an issue of it. What Biden cannot do is another Munich 1938, he cannot sell out the Ukraine State, they cannot be the new Czech and Biden does not want to be the new Neville Chamberlain. One does wonder if Putin has lot the plot, is he really serious with these threats?
