Following a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Joe Biden has announced that another $1 billion in military aid will be sent to the war-torn nation.
This is the 12th time such aid has been sent, and it includes anti-ship systems, artillery rockets, and Howitzer tank shells.
The United States has currently sent Ukraine more than $42 billion in aid, which is more than the entire military budget for the United Kingdom. Sending aid and sinking billions of taxpayer dollars into this war does not in any way protect America or its interest. Instead, it worsens the spending issue and irritates inflation.
It would not be illogical for Russia to view the provision of U.S. arms to Ukraine as a formal entry into the war. So why does Joe Biden continue to take this risk? Why does he continue to risk a world war?
Just three short months ago President Biden said, “look, the idea that we’re going to send in offensive equipment and have planes, and tanks and trains – uh going in with American pilots and American crews – just understand, and don’t kid yourself, no matter what y’all say that’s called World War Three.”
What is the difference between sending tanks piloted and crewed by Americans, and sending tanks piloted and crewed by Ukrainians? Either way, the weapons have the same exact effect on the Russian military regardless of the nationality of the person operating them.
Biden knows that with every weapon he sends he risks world war 3, yet he does not cease. This fault lies not just in Joe Biden but in every intervening world power. The United Kingdom who sends its FH70 artillery and France with its CAESAR SPH mobile artillery.
