U.S. aid to Ukraine has been a controversial topic, especially as the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield continues to heat up. On the one hand, the United States claims to support Ukraine, but on the other hand, it is so stingy with Ukraine's ** aid, and even wants to withdraw the M1 tanks it has been given and replace them with more Leopard 2 tanks.
What kind of logic is this?Does the United States really want to help Ukraine, or does it just want to use Ukraine as a pawn to contain Russia's influence?The double standards of the United States have exposed its hypocritical and selfish nature, and have also put Ukraine, an "ally", into an even more dangerous situation.
The United States has not provided much aid to Ukraine, and most of it is low-end, outdated, or even abandoned equipment. For example, the M1A1 main battle tanks given to Ukraine by the United States were taken out of stock, and after some simple repairs and modifications, they were sent to Ukraine. The performance and guarantee of these tanks were unreliable and their number was small, only 31 units, which simply could not fight the Russian T-90 and T-14 tanks.
There are still many restrictions and conditions on the ** aid given by the United States to Ukraine, which does not allow Ukraine to use it freely. For example, the J**Elin (Javelin) anti-tank missiles given to Ukraine by the United States require Ukraine to store them in warehouses in the rear and not take them to the front line for use. What's the point of such ** aid?Is it to wait until the Ukrainian soldiers are crushed on the battlefield and then run to the rear to get missiles?
In addition, there is a possibility that the ** aid provided by the United States to Ukraine will be withdrawn or replaced with worse equipment. Recently, it was reported that during his visit to Ukraine, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin suggested that Ukraine return the 7 M1A1 tanks it had already given and exchange them for 28 Leopard 2 tanks bought from other places. Moreover, the 31 M1A1 tanks originally planned for Ukraine will also be canceled and replaced with 124-128 Leopard 2 tanks.
What kind of deal is this?Why should the United States want its own tanks back and let Ukraine fight with more Leopard 2 tanks?Is it because he is afraid that his tanks will be destroyed by Russia, or captured by Russia, thus exposing his own technology and shortcomings?Or is it because you don't want Ukraine to have too strong ** equipment, so that Ukraine will not be disobedient?
Whatever the reason, it is a sign of irresponsibility to the allies and disrespect to the allies. What do you think of Ukraine?A puppet at will, not a reliable ally and partner, right? The United States only wants to use this puppet to balance Russia, but does not want Ukraine to become truly strong, let alone be responsible for Ukraine's security and interests.
In fact, neither the American M1 Abrams, nor the German Leopard 2, or the British Challenger 2 are indestructible in front of the Russian army. Russia has destroyed dozens of Ukrainian tanks on the battlefield, including Soviet-era T-72s, as well as T-72s purchased from Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries. If American tanks are also destroyed by Russia, then the American elite ** will be questioned, and may even be used by Russia as trophies for research and display.
For the sake of the war now, Ukraine should soberly see the face of the United States and stop being confused by the sweet words and false promises of the United States. Facts have been verified that relying on the assistance of other countries is not a long-term solution after all, and sitting at the negotiating table with Russia again is the way out, and no longer be manipulated by the provocation and incitement of the United States, this ** war should come to an end.
