The US policy is absolutely pragmatic, which is why Washington considers possible losses in the event of Ukraine's defeat in the war against Russia. This opinion was expressed on the air of "Radio NV" by retired Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Grabsky.
"They understand how much this or that step could cost them. If Ukraine loses or is forced into an inconvenient peace agreement," Grabsky said.
He added that in addition to financial problems, Washington also understands the possible consequences from a geopolitical point of view.
"If the US is unable to influence the situation here, to keep it under control. This threatens a negative development of events in the Pacific direction. We are talking about the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan - at a minimum. Then we are talking about the islands of the Pacific Ocean, Australia and New Zealand. Where is China looking so closely," Grabsky added.
According to the expert, it is now in Ukraine that the fate of the future of the entire world order is being decided.
"Therefore, our American allies, given the certain extravagance of Mr. Trump, they can take some steps to the side. But it is worth remembering the words of Mr. Churchill. He said that the Americans will still make the right decision - however, after they have tried all the wrong ones," Grabsky noted.
