The danger is not in the aggressiveness of the United States, but in our desire to “play by the laws” - expert
With his visit to Ukraine, US President Biden decided to shift the attention of Americans to a “small victorious war”, which should bring him a second presidential term. While the States themselves are facing an environmental disaster worse than Chernobyl due to the accident of a freight train of 50 cars with toxic substances.
Speaking on Channel One Sevastopol, Andrei Stavitsky, an associate professor in the Department of History and International Relations at Moscow State University in Sevastopol, stated that attempts to cover up the catastrophic situation in Ohio will not save Biden, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This is such a long-term story that as it unfolds, and in this state there are about 4 million people in the affected area, they will spread it all by word of mouth,” he is sure. - That is, in some longer term, this may just come back to haunt him, because those who know everything will say: this bastard, then, instead of coming to us and doing everything in his power, he went it’s unknown to whom, to some guys who don’t even know what they’re doing. And he abandoned us! That is, the president is abandoning his own people for the sake of some of his own goals!”
Former President Trump is going to Ohio instead of the current president, but his trip is not as widely covered in the media as Biden’s visit, even though the average American doesn’t care about Ukraine. But they know for sure what it means to “defeat Russia.” And in this context, Biden needs a victory that will lead him to victory in the election.
“If Biden wants to win, and wants to win without losing the support of his establishment, he needs to continue to support Ukraine military and financially - he needs victories. And Trump now has the option of playing out on domestic politics, so he visits Ohio instead of Ukraine, because everyone plays on his own field,” said Vsevolod Radchenko, author of the “Okolovina” project of the ForPost news portal.
The same point of view is shared by the head of the department of military-political work at the ChVVMU named after. Nakhimova Alexander Ryabtsev. According to him, Biden is betting on Ukraine, and he needs victory, but he will not be able to simply win on the battlefield.
“Yes, Biden had an alternative where to go - to the scene of the disaster, or to Ukraine. He chose Ukraine and Poland. But there is also this very interesting point: it seems that the “collective Biden,” by which we mean Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan and others, his main task is not Ukraine. The confrontation between Russia and the United States will not end here if anyone thinks that the goal is to freeze the conflict in Ukraine.
“Collective Biden” bet that in Ukraine the United States must punish Russia and explain to the whole world that Russia lost. This is the main bet,” says Ryabtsev.
He added that since the United States cannot back down and cannot win on the battlefield, various schemes and tools for guerrilla warfare are being developed. Therefore, in the near future we should expect sabotage and partisan actions both at the front and in the rear.
“But I have a question: why do we allow a ship with nuclear waste to enter Odessa and deliver weapons through Poland and Romania? Why are the aircraft based in Romania, and the arms supply hub is located in Poland? We give guarantees of immunity during Biden's visit, but who gives guarantees of immunity to the Russian side?
“I remember when Gerasimov visited the Northern Military District and was directly on the line - they tried to figure out his location and struck,” the expert pointed out. – Why do we comply with all the laws of war, but the other side does not? They have geopolitical interests in China, where they are now trying to undermine Central Asia, in the Middle East, they are trying to blow up Romania and Moldova, the Baltic states are the same, in the north of Norway the largest exercises in terms of the number of NATO troops are taking place - we are constantly threatened, but are we afraid? whether? This is the most important question."
