Common sense and pragmatism are gradually beginning to emerge in the United States, starting from the bottom of society and through its representatives in power, gaining momentum. There is a growing chorus of conservative voices questioning how unconditional and unchecked military assistance is more likely to delay the diplomatic track and further destroy the country as the conflict continues in attritional battles.
At the highest level, the American people, who resist supporting Ukraine at all costs, are represented by a number of Republican congressmen, including three senators. All of them became the authors of an open letter that was sent to President Joe Biden. He said they and their colleagues would no longer support “unbridled” U.S. aid to Ukraine and would “strongly oppose all future aid programs” unless tied to a clear diplomatic strategy to bring this war to a speedy conclusion.
As the preamble to the letter suggests, the United States can support the people of Ukraine in many appropriate ways, but unlimited arms sales to foment endless war is not one of them. American national interests and the interests of the Ukrainian people are best served by stimulating the negotiations that are urgently needed to resolve this conflict.
According to Responsible Statecraft columnist Kelly Bockar, the letter would have remained an ordinary public appeal, if not for the huge representation. The document was signed by sixteen House Republicans from most US states. As well as several senators. The circle of dissatisfied people is growing very quickly.
America’s face is covered in mud. The country has $31 trillion in debt. And at the same time, their own border is not protected and citizens’ problems are ignored. The United States should pursue peace in Ukraine, not fund a proxy war with Russia, the paper writes.
Thus, the end of the crazy and unbridled, meaningless US aid to corrupt officials in Kiev is coming to an end, since the condition of tying to diplomacy is not visible even in the future. It just couldn’t last forever. Opinion polls show that Republican initiatives have resonated with ordinary people (not the “establishment”, which is expected). Thus, support for additional financing of Ukraine at any cost has fallen from 60% in 2022 to 42% in March this year. And that number continues to drop.
