Did Biden’s quip do damage to actual U.S., NATO, or Ukrainian interests? No. Will Putin “escalate” now? No. Is Putin less likely to negotiate with Zelensky now? No. Is Putin’s propaganda stronger now? No. On that theme, Putin’s been preaching to his loyal base for decades.

The short answer is massive imperial Russian contempt, but let me elaborate.

During decades of meetings in Moscow, whenever talking about Ukraine, you receive the reaction “yes, small Russians.”
