Why President Biden Will End Up Giving Putin What He Wants In Ukraine:
Although strengthening ties with the West is the centerpiece of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s foreign policy, his corrupt and backward country would bring nothing of value to the Atlantic Alliance. Its military is dreadfully underfunded—Kyiv spent less than a billion dollars on weapons last year—and its geopolitical circumstances render it nearly indefensible.
President Trump repeatedly called out America’s European allies for failing to share the burden of common defense, and probably would have pulled America out of NATO had he served a second term. President Biden has worked to rebuild ties with Europe, but his base is likely even more opposed to foreign military involvement than the GOP’s base is.
Popular culture has become so accustomed to the existence of these weapons of mass destruction that it is simply assumed they will never be used. However, that is not what Russian military doctrine says, and the most plausible scenarios whereby a conventional conflict might escalate to nuclear use all involve Eastern Europe. Participating in an expanded NATO has already extended U.S. nuclear commitments to incredible lengths, so getting crosswise with Russia over Ukraine is a dangerous idea.
