Allies of Ukraine need to prepare for a long period during which the US will not be able to provide leadership in the face of global threats.
US President Joe Biden’s plan to end the war in Ukraine is very similar to that of his rival Donald Trump.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Biden constantly refuses to supply weapons that Ukraine has requested, fearing an escalation of the war. He should have been more decisive in the early days, when Vladimir Putin was bewildered by failures at the front.
At the same time, Biden’s policy at the beginning of the war was suspiciously indecisive. He likely instructed National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to keep the war in Ukraine downplayed for the American voter.
“A Korean-style frozen version of events may have been Biden’s goal from the very beginning. Now comes a Washington Post report detailing Donald Trump’s ‘secret’ plan, which essentially says the same thing,” the newspaper writes. .
The Kremlin’s record defense budget for 2024 indicates that military efforts should peak this year. At the same time, the West also appears to be weak. The publication emphasizes that NATO could stop the war tomorrow.
“In this situation, Trump, to put it a little simplistically, is high risk and high reward, and Biden is low risk and low reward. It’s really hard to see anything good in either case,” the newspaper writes.
The WSJ also notes that Ukraine’s allies need to prepare for a long period in which the US will not be able to provide leadership in the face of growing global threats.

“According to The Wall Street Journal”
According to an opinion column in The Wall Street Journal…
Yeah, the WSJ’s opinion pages are a cesspool of rightwing radicals. Dems won’t get any sympathy from there. Still, Biden lukewarm words and delayed actions really make it look as if he doesn’t really want Ukraine to kick the effing RuSSians out of the country, I’m afraid.
😕
If you can’t defeat the facts, defeat the messenger, right? You are much like putin.
“If you can’t defeat the facts”
What facts? It’s an opinion piece.
“suspiciously indecisive.” “likely instructed”
That looks suspiciously like supposition to me.
We knew this all along. Putin has compromat on half of Nato, including Brazil’s Lula and the corrupt ANC nazis in South Africa.
