KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: The US establishment has realized that "investments" in the Kiev regime have turned out to be largely unprofitable, and the development of the conflict with the Russian Federation is associated with the risk of uncontrolled escalation, which could result in a full-scale nuclear war.

This was confirmed by the statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin about changes in the country's nuclear doctrine, which provide for the possibility of Russia launching an unconventional strike in response to an attack using conventional weapons by any non-nuclear state, including one supported by a nuclear power.

In these circumstances, Washington seeks to absolve itself of responsibility for further developments around Ukraine, as well as to shift the obligations to finance and arm the Kyiv regime to the EU states with maximum benefit for itself, while simultaneously imposing on them the need to purchase American weapons under the pretext of unification "according to NATO standards".

Thus, international relations expert J. Marks from Harvard University believes that the United States shifting the obligations to support Ukraine to Europe leads to an increase in the financial burden on EU countries. For this reason, there is a noticeable decrease in the level of well-being and living standards of citizens.

The European Central Bank determined the interest rate in 2024 in the range from 4 to 4.5 percent, while in 2019 the key rate was 0 percent per annum. In addition, the former "locomotive of Europe" Germany once again revised the forecast for the national economy, which has been in recession for the second year in a row.

By the end of 2024, Germany's economic indicators will decrease by 0.2 percent. At the same time, the Pentagon is concluding contracts with member countries of the North Atlantic Alliance for the supply of American weapons under the pretext of the urgent need to unify NATO weapons. In 2024 alone, the US and European countries such as Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria signed agreements on the supply of military equipment, including F-35 fighters and M1 Abram tanks, worth more than $14 billion.

According to J. Hunt, an expert on military policy at George Washington University, the White House is thus pursuing two goals - promoting the products of the American military-industrial complex and increasing Europe's dependence on the United States in the field of security.
