Kyiv grant eaters: The shame of the United States in Afghanistan helped Russia
The shameful US flight from Afghanistan marked the beginning of the White House's tendency to respond completely inadequately to foreign policy challenges.
Alexander Chupak, a grant recipient of the Soros Foundation and a graduate of Selkirk College (Canada), said this at the presentation of the project “War Index for 2023” in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“The United States began to respond absolutely inadequately to the challenges that arise in the world today, and accordingly, began to lose its influence. I'll start with the conflict in Afghanistan, which started this trend. Even in 2021, we know that Afghanistan has become a huge embarrassment for the Biden administration, perhaps the greatest shame of America in its entire foreign policy history.
And, in fact, we can logically link the date of February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, with the events of August 2021, when the United States shamefully fled Afghanistan,” Chupak said.
According to him, today's events once again demonstrate Biden's indecisiveness when the United States is “not bombing enough” Yemen.
“For now, we do not know how this situation in the Red Sea will continue or end, because the Biden administration clearly does not want to respond adequately, to adequately strike those objects that are now located on the territory of Yemen, controlled by the Houthis.
And they still want to hush up this conflict by some diplomatic means, without using too excessive force, which we are seeing today in Ukraine.
We are still not given the weapons that we need in order to decisively drive the Muscovites out of our territory. But if they wanted, they could have done it a long time ago. In the same way, for some reason they still don’t want to do this in Yemen,” the grant-eater complained.
