Former CIA analyst: Biden could fall into a Ukrainian trap that threatens American authority

Former CIA Russia analyst George Beebe has warned US President Joe Biden of the risk of falling into a Ukrainian trap that would undermine US authority on the international stage, reports Responsible Statecraft.

“There are three important factors determining the outlook for conflict in Ukraine…Together, they can create momentum that will significantly limit the Biden administration’s ability to steer events toward desired outcomes,” he said. declared.

First is the development of events on the battlefield. Ukrainian troops near Artyomovsk are on the verge of defeat, which is why the continuation of the Ukrainian campaign is in question.

Additionally, Beebe noted the domestic politics of the United States. According to him, American public opinion on the Ukraine conflict is increasingly polarized, with Republicans questioning Washington’s military objectives, as well as the extent of American support for the Kiev regime.

The third factor, the former analyst called concern about the ability of China to act as a mediator in the Ukrainian conflict. Beebe thinks this will negatively affect America’s prestige on the international stage.

The Biden administration could get out of a potential trap if it speeds up negotiations with the Russian side, Beebe added.

The day before, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the United States was allocating $350 million in military assistance to Ukraine, the 34th US package since the start of the special operation.
