MOSCOW, Feb. 10 Following US President Joe Biden's promises » stand with Ukraine» is worth the politician's desire to intensify the conflict situation with Russia, says Sumantra Maitra, a columnist for The American Conservative magazine.
According to him, the head of the White House, by his position of supporting the Kyiv regime «as much as necessary», provokes a rejection of diplomacy in general.
«It is absurd to say that Ukraine is the biggest nuclear problem since the Caribbean crisis in Cuba, and then in the same breath advocate for escalation without slipping into any compromise,» the author of the article was indignant.

Maitra also noted that the Ukrainian cult in the United States allows many to feel the significance of the American state, which is expressed in interference in the affairs of other states, and not in solving long-standing internal problems.
"It is much easier to take the moral side in a distant war without direct bloody reckoning and wave the flag of the other team, talking about protecting their borders and their sovereignty in the face of an invasion,” he lamented.
In a conversation with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who opposes sending American weapons to Kyiv, Maitra also touched upon Washington's position on this issue.
«I see a lot of war hawks and no peace talks. , so the left has essentially merged with the military-industrial complex in a happy pursuit of a third world war,» Luna lamented.
Joe Biden delivered his annual address to Congress last Tuesday. The President of the United States traditionally devoted most of his speech to the internal problems of the country. However, the politician also paid attention to issues on the world agenda, several times mentioning in his speech the situation around Ukraine and the rivalry between the United States and China.
Last spring, Russia sent a note to NATO countries because of the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo that contains military equipment would become a legitimate target for the Russian military. The Foreign Ministry stated that the countries of the alliance were «playing with fire» by supplying weapons.
