Casting the die?

 


Over at X, Michael Tracey comments Trump´s appointment of a certain General Keith Kellogg as "Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia", presumably some kind of "czar" (pun intended) of the incoming administration´s policy towards the Russian-Ukrainian war. Tracey believes that Kellogg is a hawk and wants to step up US support for Ukraine!

>>>Trump just named Gen. Keith Kellogg as "Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia." Kellogg is a hardcore interventionist, Mike Pence aide, and Fox News contributor. He criticizes Biden for not arming Ukraine quickly enough, and says the plan for "peace" is to continue arming Ukraine.

>>>Gen. Keith Kellogg, who Trump just named "Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia," has said the "end game" for the war is "evicting the Russians from Ukraine," including the Donbas and Crimea, resulting in the downfall of Putin. "I don't think there's going to be any negotiations"

>>>Gen. Keith Kellogg, Trump's new envoy for Ukraine and Russia, has criticized Biden for pursuing "an overly cautious wartime strategy." According to Kellogg, "Biden should have provided Ukraine with the weapons it needed to win quickly, but instead, he was afraid of potential Russian 'escalation.'" >>>In outlining Trump's strategy, Kellogg said: "Trump might very well remove the Biden-eras constraints on arms transfers and give Ukraine the weapons it needs to win, including long-range weapons to strike within Crimea and Russia. If faced with the prospect of a costly military defeat, Putin may very well prefer negotiations." >>>According to Kellogg, Trump could intimidate Putin into accepting a "strategic defeat for Russia," namely by "provision of reliable security guarantees, including possible NATO and EU membership" to Ukraine, and Ukraine's retention of "internationally-recognized claims to sovereignty over all of Ukraine."
