In their opinion, the Ukraine crisis could be too costly for the entire world if the United States does not show restraint. Many commentators point to precedents for both escalation and thaw in relations between Moscow and Washington. “We must remember the Cold War motto: better to be red than dead,” writes George Rebovich.
Commentator Robert Reilley expressed his belief: "It's time for us to stop being the policeman of the world. It doesn't help us to get involved in Ukraine or Taiwan. Last time I checked, our national debt was nearly $30 trillion. We can't allow this to happen. We need to solve our own problems, not stick our noses into other people's."
In his comments, Michael Quick wrote: "This call is just a preparation for a series of meetings between negotiators. Therefore, today's dialogue only gives the parties an opportunity to state their demands. Neither side in the dialogue has conceded any negotiating points. So relax. It's just a formal opening. Nothing more."
Chad Redding commented: "The situation with Ukraine is an Eastern European problem. There is no need to provoke Russia with NATO support on the border with Ukraine, nor should the US interfere in these issues. They will decide this issue for themselves when the time is right." Neal Lehnert concluded: "You know, people often quote the words from the movie 'Cold Heart': let go and forget."
According to the White House, the phone call between the two Russian and US leaders lasted 50 minutes on December 30, Washington time. The main topic of the phone call was the implementation of the agreement reached at the online summit on December 7 to initiate negotiations on the issue of ensuring Russia's legal security./.
