Legion 4, The US is half hearted, but they are nolonger interested in Europe. We are not fighting for Ukraine we are fighting for our own homes. If Russia wins we will be next, of that there is no doiubt.
The US seems to not care about Europe. it will cost them dear in the end. Who will buy US arms if they deceide exclusoivly where and when you use them?
Well as I have said many times … The current group of US leadership in the WH is risk adverse and fears escalation. Putin knows that. And has taken full advantage it. Starting with the world watching on TV of the disastrous A'stan withdrawal. Brought to you by the WH ignoring their military and intel advisors.
The WH slow walking/foot dragging to get much of what Ukraine needed to defend itself vs Russian aggression. The combat weapons aid should have been there sooner and in the higher numbers needed. As again their predilection for being risk adverse and fearing escalation. Was how they operated …
Regardless of what the current leadership in the WH and even some in Congress say. This Admin was beholden to those that gave huge amounts of $ to get this POTUS, et al etc. elected. Those big doners in most cases were woke progressive, leftist, liberal, Go Green, globalist socialists, etc.
Very early on the POTUS said openly when visiting US Military Bases/Post/units. That the Military's main job was to support climate change.
Then pushing the DEI/CRT/LGBTQ+ agenda into the military. Which was very divisive, etc. Instead of creating the standard of one unified force trained for combat. This dogma did just the opposite. Time wasted on things that do prepare these forces for combat. The only reason they exist.
In both these initiatives by the current Admin, in response to the wishes of those wealthy woke progressive donors. That this admin was beholden to, to do their bidding.
From Day 1 this very poor choice of priorities caused much disruption, etc. across the nation.
That is the short version … So, NATO was not a priority as it even looked like it may be disbanded. With no longer a great threat from the former USSR/WP. Again, Europe was not a real priority. The US WH's priorities were more in line with turning the US into a Green, woke progressive globalist socialist state.
Where everyone is equal including economically, sharing the wealth, driving Green EV vehicles, taking mass transportation, eating plants, etc., etc. Where everyone pays their fair share. All of this was completely unrealistic, etc.
It has demonstrated to be a failed initiative/dogma, etc. And continues to cause many problems across most of the nation. Especially in the Heartland, between NYC and California. Those in the WH/DC forgot about "we the people". Many in the WH & DC "wanted to fundamentally change America" … To a state that in reality many did not want.
So sorry NATO/Europe, you were not near top of the list. The current Admin and some in Congress forgot or just ignored what their #1 priority should be … protecting its people i.e. in turn national security. That security was also dependent of NATO in the big picture.
What does that look like? Can you tell me -- can ANY "leader" describe for me what "defeating" Putin looks like? We're almost three years into the most costly and destructive war in Europe since WW2 and NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN WHAT WINNING MEANS in any REALISTIC terms!
Read what I posted above … may answer at least part of your question … I may have said too much already ….
ponders nirvana.
