"If the Republican Party takes back the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections, then aid to Ukraine will be reduced"! The words of Kevin McCarthy, the leader of the US House of Representatives Republican Party, not only caused an uproar in the US political circles, but also dumbfounded Europe and Ukraine.
McCarthy ’s words shocked Europe and Ukraine
A few days ago, Kevin McCarthy publicly stated in an interview with the media that if the Republicans can retake the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections, then providing further assistance to Ukraine will no longer be taken for granted. Because domestic problems in the United States are the priority, the American people facing economic recession will not write a "blank check" to Ukraine. "These are not free!"
McCarthy's words are undoubtedly an advance warning that once the Republican Party takes the advantage in the mid-term elections, it will be very difficult for the United States to still provide large-scale aid to Ukraine, and related issues may be difficult to pass in the House of Representatives. Many other Republicans also deeply agree with this view.
After hearing this "bad news", Ukraine, which had been confidently asking for money, was obviously panicked and angry. David Arakhamia, the leader of the parliamentary group of Ukrainian President Zelenskiy 's party, on the one hand expressed "shock", on the other hand he declared that whether the Republican Party gains an advantage or the Democratic Party, aid to Ukraine must be the "primary priority."
And the "stinginess" of the United States has also caused "unease" in European countries. Because although Europe has provided strong support, it is still not as generous as the United States. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, the United States has provided tens of billions of dollars in military aid. Once the US attitude towards aiding Ukraine changes, not only the situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict may be affected, but the defense pressure on Europe will also be greatly increased.
The Republican Party may reduce aid to Ukraine, and Europe and Ukraine will become "abandoned"
The Republican Party was not opposed to aid to Ukraine from the beginning. McCarthy had previously complained that the Biden administration's support to Ukraine was insufficient, and called on the United States to provide more arms to Ukraine.
However, as a series of problems such as rising domestic inflation, soaring prices, and the economy facing recession in the United States have intensified, the Republican Party is more inclined to put domestic issues as a "priority" and take measures to alleviate the immediate crisis. Moreover, under the huge life crisis, more and more American people are protesting against the United States' support to Ukraine. The Republican Party's sudden change of attitude is also for the purpose of gaining public favor and increasing its support.
However, with the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the continuous spread of the war, the United States is the "culprit behind the scenes." The United States wants to consume and weaken Russia and solve one of its "big worries" in its pursuit of hegemony. However, it is unwilling to pay a huge price for a "frontal confrontation" with Russia, so the United States treats Ukraine as a "chess piece" and intends to fight a "proxy" war. In layman's terms, "the United States hands over guns and Ukraine loses its life."
It is precisely because of this that Uzbek politicians confidently ask for money every time, even asking for money. If the United States reduces or cancels its support to Ukraine, the situation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict may change dramatically, and the "chess piece" of Ukraine may become an "abandoned piece", leaving itself with devastation and displaced people.
As for the European countries that were incited by the United States to sanction Russia and support Ukraine, not only were they unable to get the results they wanted, but they caused a huge energy crisis and economic crisis in vain. It can be said that "the gains outweigh the losses."
