Today’s meeting between the American President, Joe Biden, and US military leaders including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Assistant Secretary of Defense Kathleen Kicks and Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley will have much to say about the new US policy on Ukraine’s defense. We now know that the US spends $800 million a week sending vehicles and ammunition to Kyiv because “the defeat of Putin“It is possible, the Tsar’s army can still be defeated with the help of the West.
The change in US strategy
Biden’s supporters and opponents are unbalanced: they are not entirely satisfied with American aid because of “more can be done” and “think big”. Certainly in recent weeks, also thanks to the turn of the war, the position of number one in the United States has changed: as we wrote in Giornale.it, the White House declared that the American President had insisted on the necessity for all allies to continue to supply arms to Kyiv and to readdress the issue sanctions against Moscow, which could be announced in the coming days in coordination with the partners.
Five reasons to do more
The one thing NATO and the United States cannot do anything about (for now) is their personal military action in Ukraine. “Weapons yes, soldiers no” could be the watchword to prevent the conflict from escalating and spreading to Western countries. However, five restrictions have been lifted or changed compared to the recent past. In fact, as Corriere reports, the distinction between “weapons defensive and offensive,” the US is pushing, sending more and more effective and devastated materials like the kamikaze drones, but above all the MQ9, which can turn the tide of the war in Zelenskyy’s favor. Against the tsar, the next “package” will be the richest ever along with helicopters, rockets and artillery pieces.
The decision on the “nofly zone”
Chapter NoFly Zone: For now it remains active, but Zelensky’s words from a month ago are back in force: “There is much to be said for creating a nofly zone over Ukraine to save people? Is that too much? humanitarian nofly zone so that Russia cannot terrorize our free cities,” declared the Ukrainian President. Now the time seems to be right: The White House and the Pentagon continue to press the Eastern European countries, the Mig (hunt Sovietmade supersonic interceptor to the Ukrainian army. And the Pentagon itself has indirectly admitted that delivery may have started.
How intelligence changes
If at the end of February the American government decided to share even the most sensitive and sensitive information, such as where the Russian troops were located (position, location, etc.), the news is now being savored in order to prevent the Tsar’s friendly countries, they can give some “tips” and anticipate the moves of the Ukrainian hosts. Point number 4 is called “gradualism”, which is to proceed step by step, as Biden did at the beginning of the war. Now, however, the president is taking risks that were unthinkable until two months ago, like sending American troops to train Ukrainians in using the most technological weapons. Finally, the fifth reason to do more is to make your voice heard guide at the military level, while at the political level Zelensky is at the forefront and Biden is an interested spectator anyway.
The US President will follow the advice of some of his top MPs, who have asked for a “tsar” to be appointed to manage arms shipments and coordinate them with allies. Translated: we Americans dictate that line as happened yesterday at the video conference with allies, where the United States considered the possibility of listing Moscow as a sponsor state of terrorism, while State Department spokesman Ned Price said on the sanctions front that Washington would “bolster” them as long as they do , until Russia “continues its campaign against Ukraine”. Putin is warned: America means business.
