If East Palestine was in Kyiv, rather than Ohio, it might get some attention.

Biden goes to Ukraine, seems like a normal politician thing to do, but one wonders if this is how the Vietnam War got started.  Biden should be talking about a resolution, but that never comes up.

This part seems odd.

“We did notify the Russians that President Biden would be traveling to Kyiv,” Sullivan told reporters Monday. “We did so some hours before his departure for de-confliction purposes.”

At some point, the East Palestine, Ohio train wreck catastrophe warrants some attention by national leaders.  Pete Buttigieg treats his appointment as the Secretary of Transportation as more of an honorary title.
