Det framgår av sammanhanget att han syftar på Ryssland, men däremot ser det illa ut att han klantade sig så där. Två gånger. Hade han en svår baksmälla eller vad?
Så här är sammanhanget:

QUESTION: Thank you, sir. My question is: Five hundred year – 500 days of war. Would you call this – this is the longest war, and also would you call this is the defeat for Russia, a superpower, and after their eject from Afghanistan?
MR MILLER: A few things. So I will say with respect to your first question, we believe the war has been a strategic failure for Ukraine. The Secretary spoke to this in a speech he gave in Helsinki last month, I believe it was.

Secretary Blinken’s Speech on Russia’s Strategic Failure and Ukraine’s Secure Future
Today, what I want to do is set out this and the many other ways Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine has been a strategic failure, greatly diminishing Russia’s power, its interests, and its influence for years to come. And I’ll also share our vision of the path to a just and lasting peace.
When you look at President Putin’s long-term strategic aims and objectives, there is no question: Russia is significantly worse off today than it was before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine – militarily, economically, geopolitically.
