Biden will pay a huge price to support Ukraine

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-16

In his speech on December 6 last year, Biden said that if Russia wins the war between Ukraine and Ukraine, Russia will not stop there, and will continue to attack NATO member states and even go to war with the United States, so the United States must prevent Russia from winning this battle.

Biden's speech provoked a fierce response in Russia. On December 7, Russia's representative to the United States, Antonov, commented on **, accusing Biden's speech of being a "horror story" aimed at making the American people understand that large-scale military assistance to Ukraine is a constraint on Russia's actions.

Antonov noted that Biden's speech made the crisis in Ukraine even more serious, and the hasty declaration that there would be a war between the two countries is unfounded, and this is a challenge that Russia cannot bear.

Biden's speech came amid his efforts to persuade Republican members of the US Congress to approve military support for Ukraine, but it did not turn out as he had hoped.

The bill received only 49 votes when it was voted on in parliament on December 6, and according to the law, the bill must receive 60 votes before it can proceed to the next step.

According to figures released by the United States**, the United States spent 97% of the funds given to Ukraine in November, and the total amount of this bill is as high as 110.5 billion, of which about 50 billion is for Ukrainian security.

On the same day, the United States and the Department of Defense announced a new round of U.S. military support for Ukraine, including Hippocampus, anti-tank, high-speed anti-radiation missiles and other types**.

Antonov said that the recent military assistance provided by the United States to Ukraine shows that "Washington and its industrial alliance" are the biggest beneficiaries of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

At the end of November last year, the United States** sent a map to Congress of "military assistance to Ukraine's Zhanyi Oblast", which includes about $27 billion in military aid to Ukraine, which will be used to invest in the military industry in dozens of U.S. states.

The White House said that the United States has transferred the arms in its stockpile to Ukraine, which means that part of the original support for Ukraine will go into the pockets of American companies in the form of investments and purchases to provide them with new products.

For example, the U.S. state of Pennsylvania benefited the most from the $27 billion in military aid, receiving 23$600 million, compared to the fact that only three of the state's eight lawmakers opposed military aid to Ukraine.

However, according to the June congressional vote, Biden could not persuade them, even if he linked the bill to bail out Ukraine to the interests of Republican politicians, he could not make them turn the case.

Biden's speech on Saturday was not only a "threat" to Republican politicians, but also an attempt to "intimidate" Europe and get European allies to give Ukraine more help. European aid to Ukraine has also come to a standstill due to the setback of the US bailout of Ukraine.

Statistics show that from August to October of this year, the volume of aid from Ukraine's Western allies fell by almost 90%, reaching an all-time low.

If American politics produces a greater ** in the rescue of Ukraine, then Europe will also be in trouble, and without the help of Western countries, Ukraine ** Zelensky must find a way to resolve this contradiction.
