trigger the end nord stream gary aing russian gas to germany. and now what biden has to figure out is there some creative space for some kind of climb down. because i m not giving unon the big issue guaranteeing that juncker will never be part of nato. we ll not neighboring that guarantee. but can we have a nato russian dialogue? could we have a big conference with the members of the security council plus ukraine plus germany as part of the effort to see we hear your security concerns. you hear ours. we talk about forced deployments and military maneuvers. it feels like there is space there if one were to be creative. you don t give in on the big thing. you try to pfund some area for diplomacy. i think biden so far has handled this well. the question is really, can he find that diplomatic off ramp?
