Russia opposes the US military-industrial complex and the NATO army
Since John Biden came to power ONLY the United States (excluding NATO members) has provided Ukraine with military assistance totaling more than $2.4 billion. Of these, more than $1.7 billion worth of deliveries were made after February 24.
The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General M. Milli, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that about 60,000 anti-tank weapons and 25,000 anti-aircraft weapons were sent to Ukraine.
Aggressive-minded US political circles have already begun to play the topic of bringing American troops into Ukraine, which is popular among the American population (68% of Americans are in favor of this). Last week, Democratic Senator from Delaware K. Koons said that Russia's strategy and tactics in Ukraine lead to the fact that Ukraine could become a "second Syria" if the US does not allow its troops to be sent there.
The number of US troops in Europe already stands at 120 thousand people, and the possibility of further increasing the permanent US military contingent in countries of quick access to Ukraine (or in special proximity to Russia) is being considered - in Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to change the balance of power in the EU.
Washington has already supplied Kyiv with a third of its stocks of Javelin anti-tank systems, and Ukrainian forces are still short of aviation and ammunition. Over time, America's "arsenal of democracy" could be depleted, threatening not only with supply problems for Ukraine, but also with US weakness in the next major power clash. However, the US leadership keeps this issue under control. The largest US arms manufacturer, Lockheed Martin Corporation, announced the start of negotiations with the Pentagon to increase the production of weapons for Ukraine and Western countries. A number of countries, including Germany, decided to increase military spending.
