The suspense is still there in the confrontation in the Ukraine. (Biden says Russia poised to invade Ukraine as the U.S. continues to seek diplomacy PBS Newshour 02/18//2022) There are reports of clashes in the Donbass area between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists. Biden repeated again that US intelligence believes that Putin has made the decision to invade, although it's not exactly clear what that means. For all of us who can only watch from a distance with limited independent reporting from the area, we could ask if Biden is that confident that invasion is a near-certainty, how is that reflected in the official negotiations? If the US is really convinced the Russians are negotiating in completely bad faith on this, shouldn't the Administration be doing some public form of walking away from the negotiating table?
