What was the Biden administration's conflicting strategy regarding the war in Ukraine?

The Biden administration maintained a paradoxical approach: they promised to provide endless aid until 'victory' was achieved, yet refused to either define what victory meant or provide sufficient weaponry to achieve full-scale victory. This created mutually exclusive tactics - they couldn't win a war without defining victory parameters. They were caught between pursuing total territorial reclamation (which would require F16s and additional weaponry) or accepting a more limited definition of success. As battle lines solidified over two and a half years, this lack of clear objectives prevented an effective resolution, despite opportunities for peace negotiations proposed by figures like Henry Kissinger back in May 2022.
