The Fragile Balance: America's Role in European Security Amid Political Divisions

 The political landscape in the United States is currently divided by a

significant rift concerning Russia, a division that poses potentially severe

consequences on a global scale, potentially even more critical than the

potential defeat of Ukraine following the invasion by President Vladimir Putin.

The reluctance of Republicans who support Donald Trump in Congress to provide

military support to Ukraine, combined with Trump's renewed criticism of NATO

allies in a manner that aligns with Putin's objectives, indicates that Trump is 

                                   


influencing global geopolitics months before he might return to the presidency.

A key point of tension is the challenge facing House Speaker Mike Johnson, who

is inexperienced and may need to defy the influential pro-Trump faction within

the Republican Party by relying on Democratic votes to approve billions in aid

for Ukraine—a move that could jeopardize his leadership position within the

GOP's slim majority. More broadly, the shift in the Republican Party's foreign

policy stance, especially regarding Ukraine, is causing concern about Trump's

potential actions if he were to serve a second term. This includes fears that he

might attempt to withdraw the United States from NATO, which would dismantle the

security framework established post-World War II that has been instrumental in

maintaining peace in Europe for 80 years. Some GOP lawmakers' readiness to

abandon Ukraine and justify Trump's criticism of allies reflects changing

political dynamics in the US, influenced by Trump's "America First" nationalism

and shaped by the tumultuous first two decades of the 21st century, marked by

overseas conflicts and various financial and domestic crises.            

President Joe Biden         


has expressed strong disapproval of Trump's recent statements, viewing

them as a departure from America's traditional leadership role. He has

attributed recent setbacks on the Ukrainian battlefield to Republican lawmakers.

Following a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the White

House highlighted the impact of congressional inaction on Ukraine's military

capabilities, noting that Ukrainian forces had to withdraw from Avdiivka due to

ammunition shortages, leading to Russia's first significant territorial gains in

months. Biden reassured Zelensky of ongoing US support as the second anniversary

of the invasion approaches. However, with the GOP increasingly resistant to

providing more aid and Johnson's refusal to present a Senate-approved aid

package for a vote, this support seems uncertain.


If only one of the two major political parties in the US remains fully committed

to opposing Russian expansionism and upholding NATO's security guarantees, the

US risks losing its status as a cornerstone of Western security. This shift

would alarm US allies and create opportunities for adversaries in the Kremlin

ISRAEL STOPS MORE THAN 99% OF IRANIAN DRONE, MISSILE ASSAULT

.    Photo by max . ISRAEL STOPS MORE THAN 99% OF IRANIAN DRONE, MISSILE ASSAULT: Of contemporary military might, Israel has intercepted 99% of the 300 drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles launched by Iran during a massive attack. The historic assault that included projectiles from Iran, as well as Iraq and Yemen, caused minimal harm and few casualties, owing to Israel’s multi-layered air defense systems. The Israeli navy said Iran launched around 170 drones, 30 cruise missile, and missiles with a range over 100 in a wave of attack and over 120 ballistic missiles towards Israel during the early hours of April 14. But the country’s space defense system, including the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow 2 and 3 defense systems, short-circuited virtually all of the incoming threats. The United States also played a role in the defense, taking down dozens of the Iranian projectiles using its Aegis missile systems on navy warships and land-based aircraft. President Biden ...
