Amb. Chas Freeman: U.S. on the Brink of Disaster

A candid analysis of U.S.-Russia and Western meetings reveals stark contrasts: one between sovereign equals, the other resembling a vassal summit. The discussion highlights failed diplomacy, the illusion of peace efforts, and Ukraine’s dire situation. With European leaders clinging to U.S. protection and ignoring Russian security concerns, meaningful negotiation remains stalled. Leaked casualty figures and eroding Ukrainian morale underscore the human cost. The path to peace requires realistic diplomacy, not military posturing. Meanwhile, U.S. trade aggression alienates allies like India, while Israel’s actions in Gaza fuel global condemnation.
