Biden has continued to lobby Congress to pass the Ukraine Aid Act, claiming that Russian forces must be prevented from attacking Ukraine, otherwise it will trigger a conflict between the United States and Russia. However, Putin's latest move seems to prove that Biden's claims are not realistic. So why is Biden so adamant about aiding Ukraine?What kind of attention-grabbing move did Putin make?According to reference news reports, Biden in the United States previously proposed an aid bill totaling up to $106 billion, aimed at supporting Israel, Ukraine and other countries. At the same time, Biden also used the "** nomination power" to approve the provision of 1$7.5 billion in military aid. However, the aid bill has been blocked by Congress, mainly because Republican lawmakers strongly oppose the huge spending, arguing that it will increase the financial burden on the United States. On December 6, Biden delivered a speech begging Congress to pass the aid bill as soon as possible.
He stressed that it will be difficult for Ukraine to resist the Russian offensive if it does not receive adequate military support. He also warned that if Russia ** Putin wins, it will continue to expand the war and launch attacks on NATO countries. Although Biden tried to ask Congress for support, the aid bill was ultimately rejected by 51 votes against and 49 votes in favor. Is Biden's statement that "Putin will continue to expand the war" true?Judging by Putin's recent move, it may be glimpsed. On December 4, Putin visited the Russian International Exhibition Forum and witnessed the Soviet nuclear console, which was equipped with a simulated "nuclear button". However, while Putin observed for some time, he did not choose to press this analog button. Although this move is insignificant, it sends a clear signal. During the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia has repeatedly threatened the United States and Western countries with nuclear weapons, warning them not to interfere.
Even Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev has said that in the event of the use of nuclear **, the capital London will be the first target. However, despite this, Putin has no intention of escalating the conflict through the use of nuclear **. So why does Biden still emphasize that "Putin will not stop" and strive for Congress to pass the aid to Ukraine bill?There are two main reasons for this. First, if the United States stops providing military assistance to Ukraine, Ukraine is bound to lose in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This will lead to a setback for the United States in a series of strategic layouts against Russia. For Biden, who is seeking re-election, the "defeat of Ukraine" would be an unacceptable result, as it would mean a serious mistake in his foreign policy, while also shaking the confidence of European allies in the United States. Secondly, for the American industrial complex, aid to Ukraine is a lucrative business.
When calling on Congress to support aid to Ukraine, Biden bluntly said that aid to Ukraine will benefit the U.S. industry, and military industrial enterprises in multiple states will receive hundreds of millions of orders. According to U.S. statistics, although Biden has spent tens of billions of dollars on military aid to Ukraine, the profits have been even more impressive. In this case, 90% of the military aid received by Ukraine will eventually have to be purchased from the United States. This situation has made the production orders of the US ** factory full of orders, which not only creates a large number of jobs, but also brings considerable economic benefits. It is worth mentioning that while the United States is making profits by aiding Ukraine, Russia's economy is gradually recovering. Despite more than 650 days of sanctions imposed by the United States and Western countries, Russia's GDP is expected to return to positive growth this year. In stark contrast, the situation in Ukraine is quite difficult.
The country's gross domestic product (GDP) has fallen by nearly 30%, and many core industries have been ceded to the United States and Western countries. If Ukraine had accepted the peace talks last year, then they would certainly have suffered much less losses. However, Zelensky** became too dependent on the West, which led to a protracted war. Today, Ukraine is not only in trouble, but also has lost control of the country's future.
