Ukraine’s President Zelensky makes a second wartime visit to the U.S. as the Kremlin celebrates the deadlock in Congress

Continuing where the previous article left off, military aid to Ukraine is the only thing keeping Russia out of Europe. Most don’t understand that but they will should Ukraine fall to Russia. If Russia succeeds in annexing Ukraine, this will set off a chain reaction around the world and in the U.S.

For one, China will go after Taiwan military and they will go hard. U.S. Intelligence admitted shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine that if China decided to take Taiwan militarily, they’d be able to take the island within 72 hours. The silver lining is China likely wouldn’t be able to hold the island indefinitely and more so once western allies blockaded it.

Second, I just told you about Venezuela making plans to invade Guyana in the previous article. They’ll likely time their invasion to happen when the U.S. is busy responding to China invading Taiwan. I forgot to say this in the previous article but Putin likely gave Venezuela certain assurances, among them being once they conquer Ukraine China will be too busy with Taiwan and the conflict in Israel to respond quickly enough.

Third, there’s the political situation in the U.S. I’ve spent the last almost four years talking about. Some far right politicians and talking heads are already working to spin Russia beating Ukraine as a “win” for America. They foolishly believe Russia will stop with Ukraine. They genuinely believe if they let Putin have Ukraine or up to half of Ukraine, that will prevent World War III. Europe thought that way about letting Hitler invade Austria in the 1930s. Guess what ending up happening: World War II that’s what happened.

All appeasing war mongers does is encourage them. You CANNOT show ANY weakness to autocrats and despots like Putin Xi Jinpi and to a lesser extent Trump. History has repeatedly made that clear. Most Americans regardless of politics know and understand that fact. The problem is we have Republican politicians and Far Right talking heads mostly on Right Wing Media platforms telling people the war would have ended a year ago if Biden pushed Zelensky to cede half of Ukraine to Russia. Yes, really.

Ukraine is buying the western world time at the very least. They’re actually doing much better than they’re letting on and this is why military aid needs to continue if not be ramped up. Zelensky is looking to retake Crimea and after Russia’s counterattack came up short, it’s become much clearer they could actually get that done by the 10 year anniversary of it getting annexed by Russia back in 2014.

All that said. Putin has clearly made the calculation if military aid to Ukraine from the U.S. can be stalled until next summer, the American public and media will be too busy focusing on election season to care what he does in Ukraine. If a Republican other than Trump becomes president, they’ll want conditions in exchange for military aid. If Trump gets back in the White House, he’ll stop all military aid to Ukraine and likely tell Xi he can have Taiwan among other things.

The next 4 to 7 months are sure to be very interesting to say the least.
