      There is a weird disjunction between Biden's maximalist rhetoric (if you say war crimes and genocide, then only solution is regime change) and his prudent policy actions (arming Ukraine but not creating no fly zone). I think this is a legitimate criticism. https://twitter.com/b_judah/status/1514255955445354499 …

      One possibility here is Biden is being pushed in different directions by different factions of government, with State dept. wanting to ramp up & Pentagon being more prudent. So hardline rhetoric is a sop to State. But rhetoric matters https://twitter.com/b_judah/status/1514255955445354499 …

          The genocide thing wasn't a mistake. He said it in a speech and then doubled down when reporters asked him about it afterwards.

          What's the negative of hardline rhetoric on Russia/Putin right now?

          Or maybe the White House is just giving Europe support and signally Europe should take the lead since any escalation is going to impact them the most.

          If you look at American public rhetoric, going back to TR & Wilson, it is usually more strident than the policy actually being implemented in order to get popular support. Here, I also see as trying to keep pressure on German & French governments not to go soft on sanctions.
