King Biden Annoyed With Ukraine For Downplaying Russian Threat
CNN says that US President Joe Biden and his advisors have been annoyed by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s public downplaying of the threat
Washington and Kiev are at odds over how to interpret reports about Russia’s alleged preparations to invade Ukraine.
According to the CNN, US President Joe Biden and his advisors have been annoyed by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s public downplaying of the threat.
The arrogant questions from Biden is “ why are you picking fights with US?” , “Why are you leaking and distorting when the US is one of the only real friends ( self styled ) you have? And why ask for more weapons if you say the threat hasn’t changed?”
Meanwhile, according to the TV channel’s sources, the Kiev authorities believe that Washington “is inciting panic and economic turmoil inside Ukraine, while at the same time the US refuses to take preemptive deterrence measures such as imposing new sanctions on Russia.” “Kiev would find more value in taking active deterrent measures such as immediate sanctions against Nord Stream than the persistent verbal warnings predicting imminent war for the last couple months that provide no deterrent, and are actually unintentionally negatively impacting the Ukrainian economy,” CNN said, citing an adviser to Zelensky.
The TV channel reported earlier, citing a senior Ukrainian official that Thursday’s phone call between Biden and Zelensky “did not go well.”
The West and Kiev have recently been echoing allegations about Russia’s potential invasion of Ukraine. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov castigated these claims as “empty and unfounded”, serving as a ploy to escalate tensions, pointing out that Russia did not pose any threat whatsoever to anyone. However, Peskov did not rule out the possibility of provocations aimed at justifying such claims and warned that attempts to use military force to resolve the crisis in southeastern Ukraine would have serious consequences.
Earlier similar kind of trick was employed to rope in India to form an Eastern version of NATO through QUAD. However it failed miserably as India refused to join any military pact against any other country. Also India is no Camp follower and will always follow its own independent foreign policy.
