US Democracy Institute founder Patrick Basham doubts the Joe Biden strategy is working, and Kyiv is losing support. The poll that expressed reservations due to US President Joe Biden's shortcomings wants to see Russian President Vladimir Putin as a leader.
The US Pushes the Proxy War in Ukraine
The think tank's recent poll found that only 36 percent of American respondents accept the administration's policy, and 53 percent are against it, reported RT.
Among the respondents, 45 percent accept Ukraine is losing the war, but 40 percent cannot accept the loss. The question is why Washington cannot make the US keep its proxy war supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Basham says US opinion is shifting over the Ukraine crisis on how the president is seen as lacking in his policy for Ukraine is alarming in the developments in the countries involved.
Sanctions imposed by the president and pro-Ukraine surrogates thought that Russia would cave in quickly and the Russian people would rise against Vladimir Putin is a total failure.
Biden and his allies anticipated that American economic pressure on Russia would quickly end the conflict and that the intentional pummeling of the Russian economy might lead to public anger and President Putin's removal from office by the Russian people.
It only boomeranged back, and the US leader has added this to his mostly unsatisfactory tenure creating distrust in the administration and promises, just like the loss of Afghanistan, mentioned CNN.
Basham said the Biden administration's strategy that has thrown economic, military, and political predictions only have been trashed due to supporting Kyiv. Russia's resilience that the west discounts at its peril, noted Foreign Policy.
The American public has lost confidence in the 46th president, whose policy and actions have brought about a negative image to the country before the Ukraine conflict that has gotten worse.
Biden is the most vilified president whose inability to govern is not deserving of the Oval Office because of his actions that he denies losing Afghanistan.
It gets worse as Russia sees the Biden administration as the symbol of impotence that shows a weak US influence in Ukraine is a weakness on the international stage.
Biden Administration Stains America's Image
The government has proven to fail in gaining any support for its economic or military policies due to the failure of the president, vice-president, secretary of state, and national security advisers has not been convincing enough to drive even an untrue narrative for the Ukraine policy.
In the initial two months of the conflict, social media made up false stories about Russia losing, but it was Zelensky on the losing end. It seems the White House cannot get its act right, which seems unbelievable.
Recently, mainstream media has been telling the truth that Ukraine is losing, retreating, and surrendering to the Russian army, making Washington's line that Moscow is losing extremely doubtful. Mariupol and other areas in the DPR and LPR are now Russian-controlled.
American-based media should report the truth, not risking the viewers and readers to question how Russia got the upper hand if people asked how the US lost. It seems the White House shot itself in the foot and risks disaster.
Basham calls the Biden strategy to fight Russia failing, and Kyiv's losses will make it harder for this administration to justify their policy.
