No it didn’t.
Hints aren’t policy.
Clickbait
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
When the United States Secretary of State says words like these, they have real meaning. This is not you and I shooting the bull over policy, this is the highest level of diplomacy in America speaking.
You may not have heard it, but Russia got the message loud and clear.
Too bad. They should have heard from Mr ATACMS himself.
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.
Plausible deniability
Maybe I’m jaded and wrong, but I will believe it when I see it
Fair
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.
