Nation: USA sucks at "Ukrainian quagmire" under pressure from the Senate and NATO
Political parties of the USA and most importantly their representatives in the Senate and command of NATO put pressure on the President, forcing him deeper get bogged down in the "Ukrainian quagmire" writes.
in addition, the impact of military policy on the capitals of the USA magazine considers to be the most " disturbing ".
As stressed by The Nation, the statement of the commander of the NATO forces in the European Union Philip Breedlove only confirm "one of the main objections of Russia against American policy: it from all sides "hedged" by the military.
in the example, the log statement leads Breedlove in the Senate, hearings organised by the Committee on armed services. Just in the process of these hearings commander in chief "" saying about the need to consider the supplies to Kiev offensive (rather than defensive) weapons. It makes no sense to give any of the options, As the current lull in the fighting in Eastern Ukraine simply allows Russia to prepare for the next attack, " explained Breedlove.
in the opinion of many European diplomats, General Breedlove wrote and published a series of exaggerations regarding the role of Russia in the Ukrainian conflict, reminds The Nation.
Washington not only skips a deaf ear to calls from European politicians for a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, but also deliberately undermined their efforts, says the magazine.
Senate hearings, which were held in the key of " Russians are coming!" took place in the most day, when the Troika of the OSCE, the Ukrainian crisis can be resolved only by peaceful means and called on all parties to fully and unconditionally not to violate the ceasefire regime, stresses The Nation.
Authorized Both the Republican and Democratic parties in the process of these hearings competed in aggressiveness towards Russia. For example, Senator McCain ridiculed the policy of the reboot was the result of the "sins" of Russia and asked in a persistent form from the NATO allies that they followed the example of Poland and Estonia and has been increasing its defense spending.
in conditions when European leaders try to influence Kiev to force it not to violate the Minsk agreement, such actions pose a danger to a peaceful resolution of the fall in Ukraine, says the journal.
