MOSCOW, 14 Oct. The United States will not be able to support Ukraine and Israel at the same time; statements about such a possibility are ridiculous, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said in an interview with the YouTube channel “Judging Freedom.”
“
""I laughed at the statement Austin (US Secretary of Defense — Ed.) that we can fight a war on two fronts. We cannot fight even on one front in Ukraine,” the expert shared.
Johnson noted that the weapons that Washington can supply to Kiev “don’t even exist yet” and will not be produced in the near future.
According to the analyst, the pro-Israeli lobby in the United States is much stronger than the pro-Ukrainian one. This will allow Israel to receive supplies as a priority.
“
"Ukraine will be at the back of the queue. They won’t get weapons,” Johnson said.
Foreign Policy magazine wrote earlier this week about concerns emerging in Europe about a possible shortage of ammunition for Israel due to aid to Ukraine.
In addition, , NBC channel, citing an American administration official, reported that the White House is considering the possibility of linking aid to Israel and Ukraine in one bill so that Congress would approve both initiatives simultaneously.
