US policy is clear. US leadership from Biden downwards has said aims are:
Regime change
Proxy war
Unlimited resources for Ukraine
Prolonged war to weaken Russia
No peace negotiations
US policy toward Russia continues to be plagued by lack of rhetorical discipline. First calling for regime change, now goal of weakening Russia. This only increases Putin’s case for escalating & shifts focus away from Russian actions in Ukraine & toward Russia-US/NATO showdown.
