So possible options as I see them:
Biden's USA is stubborn and nihilistic and just wants to kill as many Ukrainians and Russians as possible before Trump comes in and forces Ukraine to accept a treaty
USA (and Ukraine) knows that Putin hasn't changed its demands at all so any talks are pointless
USA (and Ukraine) knows that Russia is losing and doesn't want to negotiate
Biden forgot how to use a phone and is too embarrased to ask
I'm personally going with 2 with a sprinkle of 4 and 1. In my happy dreams, 3.
Why would Russia change its demands? It's winning. If the other side is winning, you want to negotiate because the terms will only get worse.
Winning? By whose metric lol
It's propaganda. There are communist extremists in this thread trying to convince everyone the US is evil and using Ukraine as a bargaining chip.
I don't even disagree that the US has done, and will continue to do evil stuff... But this isn't one of those times.
The US is refusing to deal in back channels with Russia, and are insisting Ukraine be involved. From the article:
Why would a communist parrot the propaganda of a right wing oligarchy invading another country?
Oh right, hexbear.
