“We believe the prerequisite for meaningful diplomacy and real peace is a stronger Ukraine, capable of deterring and defending against any future aggression,” Blinken said in a speech in Finland, which recently became NATO’s newest member and shares a long border with Russia.

Bunch of people keep talking about how the US shouldn't broker peace deals and China should. Hypocrisy at its finest.

The fact is, having a third party nation recommendation for peace or no peace is a standard for centuries, and if that nation is a global hegemony with nuclear weapons, then it makes sense.

Would you have North Korea brokering deals between Thailand and Laos?

If they actually had any influence instead of being a laughing stock, then it would be the norm, yes. They don't though, but China could and would be the better example instead of a Red herring. Or Australia (they don't have nukes, but similar influence and such).
