No it didn’t.

Hints aren’t policy.

Clickbait

I think when a senior official like this says something, it's pretty close to being policy. It's kind of like a "soft launch" of the policy. He wouldn't have said it if the US didn't plan on going through with it.

You certainly have every right to being skeptical of the US pulling its finger out by this point in the war given the pace they've been going so far.

Coming from the guy who represents the US on the world stage it means something.

It would if they announced it, but hey, maybe I’m wrong.

I would like to be wrong about these things more often
