Biden indefinitely postponed the NATO meeting in Ramstein that was supposed to announce further aid and missile strikes into Russia. The excuse was the hurricane. Now Biden is going to Germany to receive an award just a few days after the scheduled date for the canceled meeting – a not-so-subtle putdown to Zelensky.
Meanwhile Speaker Johnson has made it clear that he does not support any more aid to Ukraine. The UK and Germany are likewise declining to support more aid.
The Ukrainian government is already in default on its debt, and its military is dependent on western arms shipments.
Is the plan to let Trump deal with a collapse in Ukraine when he takes office?
You are not alone. Most Americans can’t find Ukraine on a map.
A big issue will be what happens when millions of Ukrainian refugees go into Europe when the Zelensky regime collapses.
Among those who are most likely to leave will be members of Azov and similar groups who could face war crimes trial in Russia. They may become extremely vindictive when the scope of western duplicity becomes more obvious.
After years of the FBI and European governments hallucinating about dangers from domestic far-right extremists, we may see real problems with Ukrainian far-right extremists in the west.
