Milliyet: Biden knew how to provoke Russia

‘Happy Together’. Biden and Zelensky in Kyiv

Biden knew how to provoke Russia and draw it into the conflict in Ukraine, while we did not. It was calculated what threats would work to force Russian leader Vladimir Putin to take this step. It was planned to start a big campaign against Russia through Ukraine, writes Turkish newspaper Milliyet.

Two months have passed since the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reported that the United States no longer had weapons left to send to Ukraine. In addition, the Washnigton Post wrote that Europe's military-industrial capacity is not enough to meet Ukraine's need for new weapons and ammunition.

According to the US Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), as of May 19, the US has provided $80 billion in aid to Ukraine, including $4 billion in humanitarian assistance, $26 billion in financial aid, $18 billion in security, $23 billion billion – for weapons and equipment, 5 billion – for ‘other purposes’.

Judging by the fact that the United States provided Israel with $4 billion in aid over the same period, we can understand the importance of the Ukrainian issue for Washington.

Another example: the total US spending on space is 30 billion!

The state budget of Virginia is 80 billion.

Let's compare from another point of view: US aid to Ukraine is more than twice that of the EU and three times that of other countries, including the UK.

Then the following question arises: why is the United States making such large “investments” in Ukraine?

Why has the United States been inactive all the time since 2014, but just now considered it necessary to invest such serious expenses in the war against the return of the Crimean peninsula by Russia and two regions within Ukraine, the majority of whose inhabitants are Russian?

After two World Wars and Vietnam, there has never been a political crisis in the history of Mankind with such massive humanitarian consequences. Why now?

US President Joe Biden, in his speech “We need to overthrow Erdogan,” which almost everyone has already memorized, noted that he was thinking of something, but does not say about it: “Erdogan has long bitten off the Russian apple!” – and added: "It's time for them to abandon this path."

From this speech, one could understand that this is something that the American leader thought to himself, should overshadow the corruption scandal in Ukraine involving his son Hunter Biden, as well as the government crisis in the country, which is about to overthrow Zelensky.

However, we can only understand this today.

Biden knew how to provoke Russia and draw it into the conflict in Ukraine, while we did not. It was calculated what threats would work to force Russian leader Vladimir Putin to take this step. It was planned to start a big campaign against Russia through Ukraine.

The only way to thwart these plans and save the world from a Third World War and possibly a nuclear holocaust is not to provide Ukraine with even more weapons, but, on the contrary, for leaders who can speak clearly and openly with both sides, took initiatives towards achieving peace, Milliyet stresses.
