Strange thing to see in the Washington Post of all places. It's not a ridiculous argument, although the diplomatic dishonesty being engaged to smooth the peace deal in Ukraine is astonishing to watch.
Recently Bezos came out and said the WaPo would change its editorial page to promote individual liberty and the free market. Maybe this is part of that change?
If so, they’re really easing into it. The Editorial Board has a full throated rejection of Trump today, and the rest of the opinion pieces aren’t friendly.
Well, he didn't say anything about supporting Trump. I also suspect he'll have difficulty enforcing this unless he's willing to fire anyone who doesn't comply.
What specific diplomatic dishonesty do you see? The WaPo article is behind a paywall for me.
Is it? I thought I shared a link that would allow anyone to read it.
I mean of course the pretense that Russian actions don’t amount to aggression, to include public statements and the vote at the UN. It’s obvious that there wasn’t any Ukrainian incursion into Russia, which had already seized the Crimea. Not having an aggressor smooths the peace process, but it’s typical of diplomats to sacrifice plain honesty in that cause.
Blessed are the peacemakers, I guess. So I’ve heard.
