All senior leaders, from the President down, are in the position having of having to lie for the Empire while pretending to work for the Republic. It puts leaders in absurd positions especially when the Empire has superseded the Republic and the full terror and criminality of the Empire is being fully exposed for the world to see.

Blinken is especially bad as he is a lousy liar and so obviously a two-faced SOB with the presence of a hungover undertaker.

Ukraine was one war too many and the world gets to see the Empire's naked criminality.
