Peace In Our Time?

This is not going to help Ukraine negotiate with Putin. 

  Right, Richard Haass?...
Richard Haass, a veteran diplomat and president of the Council on Foreign Relations, told the Post that Biden's remarks don't achieve the priorities of "ending the war on terms Ukraine can accept, and discouraging any escalation by Putin." "It discourages Putin from any compromise essentially — if you've got everything to lose, it frees him up. Why should he show any restraint?" Haass added. "And it confirms his worst fears, which is that this is what the United States seeks his ouster and systemic change."
Um... Are we really going to say it’s Biden’s fault if Putin steps up to battlefield nukes? Because that’s about the only “restraint” he’s shown so far. Other than the restraint of a collapsing invasion force.
