“We believe the prerequisite for meaningful diplomacy and real peace is a stronger Ukraine, capable of deterring and defending against any future aggression,” Blinken said in a speech in Finland, which recently became NATO’s newest member and shares a long border with Russia.

    Bunch of people keep talking about how the US shouldn’t broker peace deals and China should. Hypocrisy at its finest.

    The fact is, having a third party nation recommendation for peace or no peace is a standard for centuries, and if that nation is a global hegemony with nuclear weapons, then it makes sense.

        If they actually had any influence instead of being a laughing stock, then it would be the norm, yes. They don’t though, but China could and would be the better example instead of a Red herring. Or Australia (they don’t have nukes, but similar influence and such).

      The US is one of the least peaceful states in the world, and that’s no easy feat. Plus, they are openly involved in the proxy war, as opposed to China.

      I’m not seeing the hypocrisy here.
