The head of the head of the Ukrainian office sent an appeal to the United States for help on December 5. He said that if the United States delays its assistance to Ukraine, the Ukrainian army will have to hold on to its existing frontline positions and be forced to turn to the defensive, which will put the Ukrainian side at great risk of losing the war. For Ukraine, facing such a significant risk can be described as a very humiliating thing. The current Ukraine can be described as "hanging by a thread", and from our perspective, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is almost nearing its end. Putin has already begun to visit the Middle East, which means that Russia has a free hand to intervene in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ukraine is on the verge of ending with its global strategy, which makes Biden unable to sit still any longer.
Despite the pleas, Biden sent a plea to Republicans for new military aid to Ukraine and said that Putin must not be allowed to win. Biden still maintains his style of threats and warnings when calling for help. "Are Republican lawmakers willing to give up U.S. global leadership and give Putin his most anticipated gift," he told RepublicansToday's vote will be remembered by history for a long time, and those who turn their backs on the cause of freedom will be judged harshly by history. Biden pleaded and threatened and warned, which made Republicans laugh happily. They think, if you don't let Putin win, do you want this old Biden to win?Therefore, it is not surprising that the $50 billion aid bill proposed by the Democratic Party was rejected by the Republican Party.
Biden is in trouble after his request to Republicans was denied. House Speaker Johnson told Biden that if Republicans want to loosen their minds and pass the aid bill, they must first carry out extensive reform of the U.S. immigration system. This request has left Biden in a tangle. Johnson's proposed reform of the immigration system is actually Trump's policy of building a border wall and tightly controlling immigration. It doesn't seem to matter to the Democrats, it seems. However, these immigrant groups from Asia, Africa, and Latin America have become the Democratic Party's voter base. If the immigration system is reformed, the Democrats will not only lose these potential voters, but will also face discontent from immigrants who have become citizens of the United States. However, not acceding to the demands of the Republicans would be tantamount to abandoning Ukraine, the battlefield of which is crucial for the Democrats.
It is worth noting that Biden entered the White House at the age of 70 and has hardly achieved much except for a breakthrough in age. The only thing that can be done is the handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He showed the world the image of the United States as "supporting justice and bringing down **". Now Ukraine's fate hangs by a thread, and if aid to the Ukrainian army is cut off at this time, it will be tantamount to declaring Ukraine's defeat ahead of schedule. This means that the United States was wrong from the beginning, Russia cannot be defeated, European security cannot be guaranteed by the United States, and the American set of democratic values cannot be sustained. And the **, ammunition and funds provided by the West to Ukraine over the past year or so will be in vain. This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Biden's re-election plan.
In fact, Biden is in this predicament of his own making. We must not forget Johnson's predecessor, McCarthy. He supported the Democrats' bill until the Republicans couldn't stand it and launched it**. As a result, the Democrats, who enjoyed the benefits, unexpectedly passed the ** against McCarthy, leading to more hawkish Republicans coming to power. Isn't this self-defeating?
Of course, the most desperate is Ukraine. Zelensky never expected that the Republican Party would become Ukraine's worst enemy. In case Trump does win in the next **, what hope will Ukraine have?
Ukraine, at great risk, asked for U.S. assistance, but got bogged down as Biden ran into Republican resistance. In order to get aid, he was forced to respond to Republican demands for immigration reform, but that would raise other questions as well. For Biden, the battlefield in Ukraine is crucial to his re-election plans and an opportunity for him to demonstrate America's global leadership. However, he faces a dilemma between abandoning Ukraine or abandoning himself. All this predicament is also the result of Biden's own political blunders. Regardless of the outcome, Ukraine will suffer the most.
