Robert Gates: “Pakistan is clearly a very strong ally of the United States in this.”

I think the president is — based on what I read — is getting the sense that, as he put it, that Putin is 'tapping' him along.

Putin hasn't given up on any of his original goals in Ukraine.

I think it would be a very heavy political lift for the president to say he's going to cut off military supplies to Israel unless they stop in Gaza.

He's going to insist on occupying all four of the eastern provinces of the Donbas.
