A worker sets up American flags in Washington DCMOSCOW, May 6The United States seeks global influence, contributing to the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, says Andrew Basewicz, a columnist for The American Conservative magazine. According to the author, they tried to fit Ukraine into America's «national experience» of rebuilding the world in its own image and likeness. This illusion is necessary both to retain the loyalty of the electorate and to pull other states to Washington's side.The United States is paying for the war in Ukraine, ignoring its neighbors, said the head of Mexico «The conflict in Ukraine provides an opportunity for the elite to get rid of the disappointments of the post-Cold War period in favor of encouraging maxims taken straight from the best excerpts from the concept of the «American century,» he explained. Basevich said that The US uses historical allusions to imagine a role in the current crisis in Ukraine that is similar to Roosevelt's policies during World War II. For example, Nobel Prize winner in economics Paul Krugman said that the United States «has become the arsenal of democracy again» and resistance to Russian military special operation » will serve as a clear lesson for Western enemies of democracy.» As the author of the article notes, other historical parallels are more suitable for American intervention in the Ukrainian conflict. Basevich recalled that the wars in Vietnam and Iraq were presented in the Western media as a US struggle for freedom and democracy.The U.S. froze dialogue with Russia on strat stability, Antonov said. and its use as a tool of intervention is less than solid.Indeed, the whole point of resurrecting the old stories of Roosevelt and Churchill saving the world (with Joseph Stalin and US support for the Soviet Union carefully brushed out of the picture) is to simplify the past and bring the public into a delusion,” the observer is sure. Against the backdrop of a Russian special operation in Ukraine, the White House announces weekly financial support for Kyiv. So, in mid-March, Joe Biden announced that the United States would provide a record military aid package worth about $800 million. At the same time, it recently became known that the American president had a resource of 250 million. His administration's request for another $33 billion in aid, including humanitarian aid, is pending congressional approval.
