1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:05,820
Finally, Ukraine's Western partners are recovering
from their fear of the Kremlin's red lines.
2
00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:11,400
Now Russia and its military escalation
are no longer feared, I will tell you why.
3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,800
Previously, the U.S. refused to supply
Ukraine with new weapons for a reason,
4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,420
and it did so on the basis of the "science"
called "Managing the Risk of War Escalation".
5
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,340
Now it turns out that the "science" in the
case of war with the Russian army is dubious,
6
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:30,540
and more reminiscent of Washington's fear
of Moscow's perceived aggressiveness.
7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,660
The Biden administration will now focus more on
Kyiv's demands than on the Kremlin's hysteria.
8
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:43,440
A detailed psychoanalysis of the White House was
conducted by The Washington Post. The publication
9
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,600
describes how the United States has evolved from
providing Ukraine with Javelin anti-tank weapons
10
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:55,020
to artillery and F-16 fighter jets. The key
explanation is very simple: before, the White
11
00:00:55,020 --> 00:01:00,420
House was frightened to the point of hiccups by
"red lines" from Putin. Only now the White House
12
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:05,040
has realized that all these scares exist only
on the tip of the Russian president's tongue,
13
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,960
and that he himself is not a military commander,
but rather a master of the conversational genre.
14
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:12,420
Here are a few quotes:
15
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:17,160
Every time the White House administration
has delayed sending aid to Ukraine - for
16
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,580
fear of Russian escalation - it has
been completely and utterly wrong.
17
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:26,040
Republicans have said that the threat of Russian
escalation should not even be considered now.
18
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,760
House Foreign Affairs Committee
Chairman Michael McCaul,
19
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,860
called the administration "cowardly" for not
sending tactical ATACAMS missile systems.
20
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:39,360
Now even White House national
security adviser Jake Sullivan,
21
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,800
who until recently had been an advocate of
reconciliation with Moscow, believes that
22
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,360
the benefits of supplying more lethal weapons
to Ukraine outweigh the risks of escalation.
23
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,480
He has also worked extensively with European
allies to provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets.
24
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:59,760
At the beginning of Russia's invasion last
February, Putin threatened that any country
25
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,660
that would try to "obstruct" his forces
"should know : Russia's response would be
26
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:08,940
immediate and would lead to consequences like
you have never seen in history. As we see now,
27
00:02:08,940 --> 00:02:15,180
indeed, we have never seen anything like this
in history. No one considers these red lines of
28
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:21,000
Putin and Medvedev's threats to strike Ukraine,
Poland, United Kingdom, and of course the United
29
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,500
States with nuclear weapons anymore. But
at the beginning of a full-scale invasion,
30
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:31,260
the U.S. establishment tried to allocate weapons
to Ukraine, looking back on these threats .
31
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:33,900
The White House administration believed and
32
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,800
juggled these concerns amid activism
from Ukrainians and hawks in Congress,
33
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,540
who sought to encourage Biden to move faster
by sending modern weapons to the Ukrainians.
34
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:47,400
But in fact, the Kremlin has
swallowed the violation of all lines.
35
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,340
The U.S. believes that Putin is afraid to strike
NATO because the Russian army has suffered heavy
36
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:57,360
losses and is no longer as combat-ready
as it seemed before the full-scale war.
37
00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:02,460
It took more than a year for Ukraine's
partners to figure out Putin's main bluff,
38
00:03:02,460 --> 00:03:07,380
and now they are helping Ukraine without
expecting much consequences from the Kremlin.
39
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:12,240
If this epiphany had come to them 12 months
ago, the war would have long since ended with
40
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,640
Ukraine's victory. But the good news is that
today Kyiv is already defining red lines,
41
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:22,260
and they are getting closer and closer
to the Kremlin : F-16s, ATACAMS...
42
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,640
what other expectations were there
for the Ukrainian armed forces?
43
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,440
Blinken's wonderful phrase puts everything in
its place and it will go into the history books
44
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,220
of this war : "Many are convinced that
the Russian army is second in the world.
45
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,860
But it is second in Ukraine."
46
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,180
Thank you for watching the video
to the end, see you tomorrow.
