A group of 30 House liberals is urging President Biden to dramatically shift his strategy on the Ukraine war and pursue direct negotiations with Russia, the first time prominent members of his own party have pushed him to change his approach to Ukraine.

The letter, sent to the White House on Monday and obtained by The Washington Post, could create more pressure on Biden as he tries to sustain domestic support for the war effort, at a time when the region is heading into a potentially difficult winter and Republicans are threatening to cut aid to Ukraine if they retake Congress.

In a letter led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the 30 Democrats call on Biden to pair the unprecedented economic and military support the United States is providing Ukraine with a “proactive diplomatic push, redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a ceasefire.”

The Democrats are specifically concerned that the United States is not engaging in regular dialogue with Russia as part of its effort to end a protracted war that has caused thousands of deaths and displaced 13 million people. The Biden administration has been adamant that it is up to Kyiv whether and when to negotiate with Russia, arguing that Ukrainians as a free people should decide their fate.

97. Bad idea, boys and girls.

That is up to Ukraine.

I'm with Biden.

I am also pissed off about this TWO ****ING WEEKS FROM A CLOSE ****ING ELECTION.

What the ****?

Im really enjoying the fact that the Mutts are more concerned about losing elections then whats going on in Ukraine/Russia. Im sure they are all having flashbacks to "Comey pulling the rug out from Hilldog.." or something like that.

Luring Mutts, DUmmys, and Morons. Its obvious. Your higher-up Dem leaders want rid of Sleepy Biden. Might as well embrace that.
