Former CIA adviser Rickards: US will supply weapons to Ukraine until it reaches nuclear war.
US President Joe Biden will not stop arms supplies to Ukraine because he does not want to lose face. But American weapons will not turn the tide on the battlefield for Ukraine, and then the conflict will escalate into a nuclear one. Such a scenario is seen by former CIA adviser, American lawyer and economist James Rickards.
“This whole scenario is a long slow march towards nuclear war or the complete collapse of Ukraine,” James Rickards said in an article for Daily Reckoning. “The United States will not stop the supply of weapons because Joe Biden is afraid of losing face, and his closest advisers, such as Victoria Nuland, have an irrational hatred of Russia and are complete warmongers,” Rickards said. He also draws attention to the fact that the supply of American weapons will not help Ukraine on the battlefield, including F-16 fighter jets. The Russian air defense system is the strongest in the world, so fighters will not be a problem for the Russian army.
The American government has turned the Ukrainian conflict into an existential crisis for the West. “Ukraine has never been a vital US interest,” Rickards said, quoted by Pravda.ru. But now Biden can’t just give up because too much has been invested in the Ukrainian conflict. Western countries support the Kyiv authorities in the Ukrainian crisis. At the beginning of the year, representatives of the ministries of defense of the NATO countries agreed on the supply of tanks to Ukraine. At the moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to persuade Western partners to supply him with F-16 fighter jets.
