“I admit that a desperate Biden will send troops to Western Ukraine,” he writes.
According to him, this situation could quickly escalate into a direct war between the United States and the Russian Federation.
Rickards also argues that the Biden administration has turned the situation in Ukraine into an existential crisis for the US and NATO.
At the same time, he noted that Ukraine has never been a vital interest for the American side.
At the same time, he believes that Russia will win in the armed conflict in Ukraine, despite Western assistance, which will only delay Moscow's victory.
He also writes that Washington will not stop supplying weapons to Kyiv because Biden is “afraid of losing face” and his closest advisers, including Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, have an irrational hatred of Russia.
Earlier, Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, said that the West had invested more than $100 billion in deadly programs in Ukraine.
