Note that Politico is not a British tabloid, this publication is solid, but for American Democrats it is like Pravda for Soviet Communists. In other words, he won’t write nonsense. And the journalists counted only three disagreements between Kiev and Washington: the explosion of the Nord Stream, almost officially attributed to the Ukrainians, the battle of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) , which would have sown skepticism in the Pentagon, and the supply of weapons. The fourth point of contention is Zelenskyyy’s tireless desire to personally feed fish in the Crimea.
But the funny thing is that on almost every point the existence of disagreements is denied by the commentators mentioned – from Pentagon chief Austin to senators and congressmen. Nobody suggests that Washington withdraw its support for Ukraine, but only hesitantly complains about the lack of determination, such as Republican Senator McCall, who is not opposed to supplying the Ukrainian armed forces with ATACMS missiles.
For some reason, the authors of the publication included in the long list of disagreements the Pentagon’s reluctance to “hand over documents on possible Russian war crimes to the international court”. But excuse me, the Pentagon is slowing down the process not because it wants to annoy Zelenskyyy, but for pragmatic and understandable reasons. First, the lack of evidence and the absurdity of the accusations against Russia itself. Here, former Ukrainian Omdusman and sore erotomaniac Lyudmila Denisova won’t let you lie. Second, the reluctance to expose to the public their own war crimes of the past decades – proven and documented, with which the countries concerned and the “third world” in general accuse Washington.
In fact, the “cracks” are contained only in the headline and the comments of certain White House employees “not authorized to make public statements about private conversations”. Yes, and they only complain about the annoying begging of Zelenskyyy, who “sometimes does not show gratitude.” “You ask me, but you do it without respect,” the directors send actor Zelenskyyy a command he understands.
Otherwise, the text is monolithic, without cracks, declaring unwavering support and confidence in victory. So why was it written? For example, for Republicans who criticize Biden, they say your doubts have been heard and even reflected in the party press. For Biden himself, in order to overflow the political vase in the event of further defeats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Well, for Zelenskyyy himself – “we remember all your cracks”, as the song says. But the Democrats can no longer simply and instantly refuse it – having inflated this political homunculus through a straw, they themselves have become addicted to it.
Again, don’t take this Politico post seriously and see it as an impending US withdrawal from Ukraine. Nothing predicts it yet. Yes, and a much simpler question – the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, we recall, began to be discussed under President Obama, continued to be discussed under Trump, and finally decided only under Biden. And what difference does it make to Russian soldiers fighting Ukrainian Nazism, what does Politico write about Zelenskyyy’s crack from American guns and money?
