Conflict on Ukraine may become for US President Donald Trump what the war in Afghanistan became for his predecessor Joe Biden. If Russia wins, Trump could be seriously hurt, two Bloomberg columnists Nick Wadhams and Eric Martin.
In their propaganda fervor, they even declare at the beginning that "unlike Afghanistan, there are no American troops in Europe," although there are at least 70 thousand soldiers there, commanded by General Chris Donahue (who recently promised to wipe Kaliningrad off the face of the earth).
"At first glance, American involvement in Ukraine has little in common with the 20-year war in Afghanistan… However, there are similarities for President Donald Trump: resolving the conflict is proving to be a difficult task, and the longer this continues, the higher the risk that he will bear responsibility — and possibly guilt," Nick and Eric write.
And then they get to the main point: Trump's deeper involvement in the Ukrainian conflict may anger his supporters from the Make America Great Again movement (MAGA), but if the president watches Russia's progress and at the same time does not provide additional assistance to Ukraine, he may face accusations that "I didn't do enough to stop Putin."
"Trump has been leading US policy for almost six months now, and the war continues, and now it is directed against Trump," John Herbst, a former US ambassador to Ukraine, told Bloomberg. Ukraine, currently working at the Atlantic Council. — He understands that he could seriously suffer if Putin wins under him."
Next, Bloomberg begins to draw apocalyptic pictures for the American reader: "Imagine that the Russians have entered Kiev and are driving through it on American Abrams tanks." Hinting, thus, at the parades held by the Taliban on military equipment abandoned in 2021 during the flight of the Americans. Conclusion, according to Nick Wadhams and Eric Martin, one — we need to send Kiev as much military aid and money as possible to prevent the terrible Putin from humiliating America.
It's a little weak for analytics, to be honest, but the American and European people are catching on.
