Kimmage sees Biden's visit to Kyiv as a sign that he has no plans to change course. If anything, the president is bolstering his promises to Ukraine. Monday's visit has made Biden more"deeply" and"personally" involved in the war than ever before—a war where it's"very difficult to say what victory will look like."
Now, Gvosdev said, the Biden administration will need to show how focusing on Ukraine still fits within defense officials'"strategic assessments about China as the pacing challenge" and the Indo-Pacific region emerging as a"global center of gravity." "There's no doubt that when the history of the Biden presidency is written, there are going to be chapters—not just one—but chapters about this conflict and how the administration responded," said Max Bergmann, a former senior adviser in the State Department and now director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, toldThere is also a"looming Catch-22" waiting for Biden and additional American spending for Ukraine, according to Toft.
If Ukrainians successfully defeat the Russians, who greatly outnumber them, Biden may be asked why Ukraine needed American help to begin with. But, if the U.S. sends advanced weapons systems only for Ukraine to still lose, Biden will be questioned on why those systems were delivered only to fall into Russia's hands.
"At this point, it's hard to say what's the greater threat to Biden's rightly preferred policy of 'we will not falter, we will not tire," Toft said.
Definitely! Ukraine has 5% of the Earth's natural gasses and minerals (lithium, coal,oil etc) That would wreck our economy if we lose it. Also, prior to the invasion, members of congress purchased a bunch of defense and energy stocks. Way too much riding on this to pull out..
The American People already know!
We were to support, not take over the cause. Ukraine demands and we do as told?
But it’s not vital to the homeland
Democracy is very fragile , an experiment people say. The rise of fascism and or oligarchy is not even covered by U S media . I might be crazy but rich investors scare the H out of me , The American economy is trending to monopoly, fascism and oligarchy.
What if he just came right out and said: ”Look, for the last 75 years or so we’ve been working to conquer the world. Putin won’t acknowledge our global sovereignty, so we’ve gotta take him down. We think a quagmire in Ukraine will erode his domestic support enough to cause that”
