  • Antony Blinken has been spotted taking a break from his busy touring schedule on his visit to Kyiv by jamming along to the Neil Young classic "Rockin' in the Free World" in a bar in the Ukrainian capital, with the audience clapping the US Secretary of State's guitar chops at the song's end.

    It's quite astonishing that people commenting here would think that life stops during wartime. Really folks read some history. More interesting is that Blinken doesn't appear to have read (or, perhaps, understood) the lyrics of this particular song.

    Biden said: "we will fight until the last Ukrainian"....we can get our hands on to send him to the front line" Well, we are just about there.

    • @paulfildes5489
      @paulfildes5489 Месяц назад

      Blinken knows that Ukraine cannot militarily defeat Russia. Ignoring this reality and trying to pretend otherwise will just get more Ukrainian troops killed, more of their cities destroyed, and more land lost to Russia. By Blinken refusing to acknowledge battlefield realities and not seeking a negotiated settlement now increases the odds that Ukraine eventually loses yet more territory and will have to sue for peace in the future under even worse conditions. That is just the evident, ugly, and painful truth.
