Arya News - Donald Trump`s National Security Strategy (NSS) sketches a future in which the US is “ready to throw the current political leadership in Ukraine under the bus,” believes retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski.
The US signals in the document, where Ukraine is downgraded to just four mentions, that it expects peace and some form of a “viable sovereign state” afterward, Karen Kwiatkowski, a former analyst for the US Department of Defense, tells Sputnik.The NSS reflects a realization that “no NATO army or combination of armies can stop Russia’s advance or the achievement of its goals,” which include the end of the current neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine, she underscores.NSS Puts Europe on Notice Unprecedentedly, the NSS “directly alienates and demeans the current political leadership of the EU and many key NATO countries,” says the pundit. The strategy depicts the EU as economically frail, politically fractured, and dependent on US support “for a price.” The message to the EU hawks is: the US will not assist the European establishment in “holding off the new generation of nationalists and populists from taking power.” According to Kwiatkowski, it is unlikely that the US deep state will “tactically and strategically aid European elites, through money, deals, and color revolutions, or even help with NATO expansion, as they have for the past 30 years.”
