“Joe Biden has made a significant diplomatic concession to Moscow designed to prevent an invasion of Ukraine by signalling he wants to convene meetings between Nato allies and Russia to discuss Vladimir Putin’s grievances with the transatlantic security pact,” the Financial Times reports.

3. Bizarre appeasement.

7. This is not appeasement

The offer is a meeting between NATO and Putin. This is not giving anything away other than agreeing to talk about what is clearly the existential concern behind Putin's threat to invade Ukraine. It could lessen the likelihood of an invasion.

The US has already made it clear they do want a war. Not to mention, a war in Russia's backyard would be terrible. Yesterday, Biden did tell Putin what we would do if he invaded. This is possibly the way the US helps Putin walk back his threat to Ukraine.

4. Okay, fine, but I hope Ukraine gets a seat.

Seeing that it's Ukraine's ass on the line here.

5. That's not a conssesion, it's an agreement to practice diplomacy.

Are we always supposed to be trigger's edge? If diplomacy stops war, I say give it a shot.

6. Gee I wonder what the political leanings are of the reporter at the Financial Times?

The name of the reporter should be called out by name.
