Russia's proposals for a new eastern European security architecture were modest, and any administration looking forward to a post-Covid global economy that lifts all boats would have gladly signed on with few modifications. But the long diplomatic dance of Antony Blinken and Sergei Lavrov proved that the Americans only wanted to look adult and diplomatic. Lavrov must have felt he was trapped in a customer-service answering machine. Americans have since broken off all contact, burned all their bridges. Joe Biden throws caution to the winds and calls Putin any insulting name that occurs to his muddy brain.
Is it because there's no longer any need to maintain a pretense?

For the "unclean spirits" have possessed citizens of the West, and they will accept anything.
