Why Is This Guy Not Dead?

 From the Washington Post today:

"Kissinger says Ukraine should concede territory to Russia to end war"

Precious advice from the architect of the United States' glorious victory in Viet Nam.

"Kissinger urged the United States and the West to not seek an embarrassing defeat for Russia in Ukraine, warning it could worsen Europe’s long-term stability."

No comment on how allowing a vicious dictator to violently seize part of a European nation might "worsen Europe’s long-term stability."

"Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante,” said Kissinger, 98, according to the Daily Telegraph. “Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself.”

Asking Russia to pay a penalty for its murderous invasion of an innocent country would just be too much.  No, the rules should be, aggressors can keep what they seize, but should immediately get back what they lose.  That's the Republican rule anyway.  

"Kissinger’s comments follow a recent editorial from the New York Times’s editorial board that argued Ukraine would have to make “painful territorial decisions” to achieve peace."

No amount of Ukranian deaths mean anything, when they are stacked up against an opportunity for the press to do its job and convince the American people that Biden's masterful diplomatic success was in fact a colossal failure.  I guess you might as well remember this day as the one when the mainstream press abandoned world peace as a goal in return for Republican victory in November. And this is why Biden's popularity currently stands at 39%, and there is a real prospect that American voters could return a brain-damaged Putin clone to the White House in 2024.
