That didn\u2019t stop Moscow from making noises about \u201cwidening the war,\u201d but ominous threats are a Kremlin specialty.<\/p>\n<p>A bigger issue is that, for all Biden\u2019s vow to help Ukraine \u201cfight on the battlefield and be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table\u201d (a troubling hint-hint), the Pentagon says it\u2019ll at take least three weeks to get the advanced systems (and troops trained to use them) onto the battlefield. <\/p>\n<p>We get that Biden has to make tricky decisions: The risk of escalation is real, even if smaller than the Russians want everyone to think.<\/p>\n<p>But the fact remains that US delay and dithering cost Ukraine not only brutal-to-retake territory but blood, as Ukrainian citizens and soldiers pay the price with their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Vladimir Putin has yet to blink.
