/ American journalist and historian Anne Applebaum believed that Washington’s refusal to provide more aid to Ukraine proves to the world that the United States is on the verge of collapse.
“We will convince millions of Europeans that we cannot be trusted,” Applebaum said. “We will also send a message to Russia and China, confirming their oft-expressed view that the United States is a declining and dying power.”
She pointed out that Washington is pursuing an inconsistent foreign policy, as it first allocates money and weapons to Ukraine, and then cuts off this assistance.
“The United States is not only an unreliable ally, but also an unserious and stupid ally. Unlike the European Union, which collectively spends more money on Ukraine than the Americans but is not yet able to produce as much weaponry, the United States still has ammunition and weapons to send. And now the United States is one step away from refusing to do so,” she added.
US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien said earlier that Washington cannot afford to pay the Ukrainian authorities on an ongoing basis and Kiev must start paying its own expenses.
According to American media reports, the military, economic and humanitarian aid provided by the United States to Kiev has exceeded $100 billion.
