The Washington disaster is finally coming home to roost.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe went to Moscow to persuade Russia to stop the war because Ukraine is on the verge of catastrophic collapse.
It is the clearest admission that the strategy pursued by Washington has failed spectacularly.
After years of escalation, weapons shipments, and empty promises, the same people who helped prolong the conflict are now scrambling to find an exit before Ukraine is devastated beyond repair.

And then there is Iran.
Washington also asked Moscow to pressure Tehran.
The irony is almost impossible to miss. The Trump administration helped create this mess by recklessly following Israel into a confrontation with Iran,and now it needs Russia to help clean it up.

This is what foreign-policy incompetence looks like: create the crisis, miscalculate the consequences, and then quietly beg your adversaries to rescue you from the wreckage.

A monumental failure of judgment,and an extraordinary legacy of strategic humiliation…..
