Divisions Growing Between The U.S. And Ukraine

Politico: ‘Little fissures’: The U.S.-Ukraine war unity is slowly cracking apart 

A tough week for U.S.-Ukraine news reveals an imperfect harmony. 

The United States and Ukraine have largely been in lockstep since President Joe Biden’s administration pledged support for “as long as it takes” in resisting Moscow’s relentless invasion. 

But more than a year into the war, there are growing differences behind the scenes between Washington and Kyiv on war aims, and potential flashpoints loom on how, and when, the conflict will end. 

“The administration doesn’t have a clear policy objective and a clear goal. Is it to drag this thing out, which is precisely what Vladimir Putin wants?” said Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “Is it to just give them enough to survive and not to win? I don’t see a policy for victory right now, and if we don’t have that, then what are we doing?”

WNU Editor: This is an extraordinary article that highlights the divisions that are now growing between Washington and Kyiv. In the article there is nothing but criticisms from US officials on Ukrainian President Zelensky .... and I think this is the first time that I am reading a major US media outlet criticizing the Ukrainian President. 

There is also US criticisms on Ukrainian war policies, and what is more shocking, are US officials telling Politico that they strongly believe that Ukraine was behind the Nord Stream pipeline attack. There is also criticisms on Ukraine being committed to the defense of Bakhmut against the advice of US military officials. 

But what struck me were US officials expressing their frustration over constant Ukrainian demands for more weapons and monies, and disappointment that they have not shown the proper appreciation of US efforts.

Needless to say. This is a must read article for today.

Soulless war mongering beggars, that’s what the Ukrainians are. They fight so well because they love war and killing Russians. Putin couldn’t have been more vindicated with his decision to go in and de Nazify this shit-hole country that is a puppet of the west.

I can see the possibility of China stepping in & brokering a peace deal. That would piss off the Yanks & the Limeys. Not quite the Great Reset they would like to impose on the world.

Elections are about 18 months away. Prep the ground now. We need a fall guy if things go sideways.

The ukies have squandered a lot of money with their corrupt practices. And for all the bullshit, the war is not going well for them.

So they need someone to blame. That, of Course, cannot be Joe and the congress, even though they are supposed to provide oversite of FMS and DoS money and material.

The republicans (hypocrites) will take this ball and run with it.

So who to blame? yes... you guessed it...either Putin, Trump or the ukies. Otherwise known as...

Round up the usual suspects.

am I a cynic? nah , just seen too many MSM news cycles.

"As the war continues the financial burden on NATO nations becomes more of a problem for local politicians. Russian Information War efforts keep pressing this angle because in the long run it works. This means planting a lot of false media reports that justify reducing financial support for Ukraine. Some Western media accepts the Russian disinformation without checking to see if it is valid."

WNU and thr trolls here are all part of a psyops campaign

Politico: "Meanwhile, an assessment by U.S. intelligence suggested that a “pro-Ukraine group” was responsible for the destruction of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines last fall, shedding light on a great mystery. The new intelligence, first reported by The New York Times, was short on details but appeared to knock down a theory that Moscow was responsible for sabotaging the pipelines that delivered Russian gas to Europe."

These propaganda stooges at Politico do not even mention the Seymore Hersh expose that Joe Biden himself ordered the destruction of Nordstream II! Do they think we have forgotten? Apparently they are practicing the Nazi "Big Lie" tactic! What disgusting people are leading the USA!

Also, anyone notice the photo of Kamala Harris looking resolute as she condemns Russia? LOL how many photos did they have to comb through before finding one that make that cackling hag look tough??

I'll be listening to a Navy Seal discuss Nordstream in a few. Listening to a troll such as 1052 ...uhmmmm . No.


Id o love it when an orc like 1052 makes fun of Kamala. She has it coming. It discomfits lever pullers for the Democrats. It does not make me like the orcs more however. It makes me hate orcs more.

Spec ops should be telling you the ukies do not have the training, planning capability or the logistics to do Nordstream.

It was someone in the west. My bets are on the Brits.

If seal buddy says its was the Ukies, then he is full of shit. Probably the same idiot, who said he was a seal, that the Dems had on infomercials for disrespecting Vets at Normandy. Which of course, never happened.

And why was 1052 an orc mr 1129? Because he said something you did not like? You are pathetic as your argument.
