And there have probably been more piece written in this full-puff-ahead mode about Trump than about Joe Biden, for obvious reasons (Joe Biden??). I couldn’t read the Trump pieces either.

US aims according to @EliotACohen : EU & eventual NATO membership for Ukraine, re-arming Europe, “the overthrow [of] Putin,” and if not that “Russia profoundly weakened and militarily crippled.” Plus no early off-ramps! Cohen must be awully confident a losing Putin won’t go nuke.
