In March 2022, Secretary Blinken proposed a no-fly zone over Ukraine, but the Pentagon rejected it to avoid escalating tensions with Russia. Despite Biden's opposition to a no-fly zone, Blinken recently suggested that Ukraine could use long-range missiles to strike Russia.
President Putin warned that such an action would be considered an act of war by NATO countries. However, the Pentagon has again advised against the move.
British Prime Minister Starmer hoped to strike Russia with Storm Shadow missiles, but Biden denied the request.
Blinken has been accused of recklessness and trying to lead the US into war.
Biden has allowed neocons like Blinken to hold positions of power, but has shown a willingness to listen to the military and set limits on their agenda.
Blinken's actions reflect the neoconservative ideology that seeks world domination through aggressive use of American power.
The Pentagon and Biden's National Security Advisor have prevented Blinken from leading the US into a more dangerous conflict.
Biden has been criticized for pursuing confrontations with both China and Russia simultaneously.
The neoconservatives remain influential in the Biden administration, but their ambitions have been tempered by the Pentagon and Biden's own pragmatism.
