According to Bloomberg, Biden has asked Congress to allocate $106 billion to support military operations in Israel and Ukraine, of which Ukraine will receive about $60 billion. However, Speaker of the US House of Representatives Johnson has not put this issue on the agenda and is opposed to continued aid to Ukraine. In this regard, Yellen is anxious. "The situation is dire, and if we can't find a way to finance Ukraine, we will be responsible for Ukraine's failure," she told reporters on December 5. "The United States is facing a difficult choice. Yellen is well aware that the United States is facing a serious financial crisis, and only a few days ago passed the temporary appropriations bill, which is only a temporary solution. Because the United States faces a deficit budget of more than $2 trillion, it has not yet found a solution. In other words, with such a huge financial gap, where to find supplementary funds?
The only option for the United States is to issue Treasury bonds. However, the problem is that no country is increasing its holdings of US debt now, not even Japan. These are the fundamental motives for the United States to improve relations with China in recent months. It is precisely because the United States is helpless that Yellen and others visited China intensively around July to try to persuade China to increase its holdings of U.S. bonds. However, the United States, which has been arrogant for many years, cannot keep its voice down, and can only adopt the old routine of "carrots and sticks." So, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco in November, Biden held a head-of-state meeting with China on the one hand, and on the other hand sent a large amount of free military aid to Taiwan. Biden's purpose is obvious, if you don't increase your holdings of U.S. debt, I will provide free aid to Taiwan and increase arms sales. This effectively turns a call for help into extortion. Now let's return to the issue of U.S. assistance to Ukraine.
As the United States, she must fulfill Biden's determination or face the risk of being at **. Therefore, even if "a clever daughter-in-law is difficult to cook without rice", she must find a way to implement Biden's directive to aid Ukraine and ensure that Congress approves the appropriation first. Therefore, she can only take action to intimidate Congress. She is right in saying that indeed, if the United States does not manage to provide funds to Ukraine, then the United States will be responsible for its defeat. This is a major responsibility of Biden**, and once Ukraine fails, Biden** will also end in failure, and Yellen is doomed**. The White House said a few days ago that the current funds currently provided by the United States to Ukraine would be exhausted by the end of the year. If new aid funding is not forthcoming, it means that U.S. support for Ukraine will be interrupted, which will lead to a failed outcome. In order to convince the US House of Representatives to approve the appropriation plan for aid to Ukraine, Zelensky plans to personally go out and try to convince lawmakers.
However, with negotiations stalled, Zelensky's original plan to go into the limelight on December 5 fell through. Yellen posted on social platforms: "I want to make it clear that if Congress does not act, by the end of this year, we will not be able to continue to procure more ** and equipment for Ukraine, nor will we be able to provide equipment from the US ** stockpile." ”。We have no funds left, and time is running out. As a result, Blinken plans to lobby the European Union to pay instead of the United States. "Some people have questioned whether the U.S. and other NATO allies really continue to support Ukraine'......," he saidBut the answer given by NATO today is clear and firm. We must and will continue to support Ukraine. ”。
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, a U.S. war executive and secretary-general, was even more anxious, saying at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels convened by the U.S. on November 28: "I believe that the U.S. will continue to provide support because it is in the security interests of the United States and it is in line with the agreements we have reached." "I urge allies and allies to also commit to continued support. "The goal is clear, the United States will provide assistance, and other member states should act quickly. The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for almost two years, and while allies such as the European Union and the United States have been supporting Ukraine, long-term aid has created challenges for them in terms of inventories and defense industry output, which the United States and its allies have long been unable to afford. Due to the severe lack of funds, equipment, ammunition and personnel, Ukraine has abandoned ** and moved to a defensive posture. However, some of Zelensky's remarks, such as "entering a new stage" and "very satisfied", are just self-consolation and boost low morale.
With the advent of the cold winter, the battle situation on the front line in Ukraine will face a greater test. According to various reports, Russia is beginning to intensify its offensive and announce the expansion of its army. Note that this is not just about replenishing troops, but also about expanding the size of your army. What does this mean for Ukraine?What does this mean for the American coalition?Perhaps, the war will be revealed this winter, and next spring may end.
