The European Union has pledged more military aid for ukraine and called on us lawmakers to reconsider the decision to drop Financial Support for the country. Now News Review Program will took a closer look at the. Western support for ukraine in the war with russia, lets see what our guests had to say. The secretary general of the Cp Foundation joining us from brussels and we also have john stepling, author and commentator who joins us from inderoy, norway. Welcome to you both. Let me first start with you, so interesting situation it seems like has evolved here where you have. The eu pledging uh military aid to ukraine, but based on the most recent stop gag bill as they call it to aver shut down, the ukraine bill was not part of that in the us, that is, uh, do you think that uh that is the beginning uh of uh the uss decision, or i should say the republicans decision, not to provide more aid to ukraine on the from the us side, but first of all we have to to say that the the entire issue of ukraine has been a miscalculation of a Group Leading the Security Sector in the United States, namely mrs. Noorland, as we know, was been promoted over the time to the position where she is today, so it is something that the United States intended as a part of. The Security Apparatus of the United States have engaged in with the total miscalculation that wanted russia to be defeated and possibly. Even splitted into regions and ukraine has been used to this scope, European Union has been caught or captured by the security apparates of the United States through nato and has been supporting ukraine with these uh flow words of existential freight and so on, the situation today is that a large number of people in the European Countries despite the continuing the propaganda on the media is questioning the decision of the united of the European Union to basically melt with the nato priorities in the United States the the basis who has to vote is questioning what . To waste so much money and armament in a war that they do not understand and uh the situation may be changing in the United States if the republican size will prevail in the elections. Okay, john stepling, the eu Foreign Policy chief joseph burell in that particular press conference, made a statement that id like to ask you what you think of it, and that is how you portrayed russia as being an existential. Threat uh to, i think he was referring to the eu, uh, why does he think that russia is an existential threat . I mean, then what should russia think when you have, i dont how many countries are members of nato uh, who are gunho and ready to go against russia . Well, everything, he was simply, he was simply lying through his teeth about everything, i dont, i dont know that he believed any of it, uh, but but there was an opped in the wall street journal, a couple of days ago, and and a speech by zelinsky where they openly said, we should be, we should be cheering on the defense industry, and zelinski said, lets cut out the middle men and turn ukraine into what he was essentially saying was a massive Industrial Park for the defense industry, come and build your factories here, we will be the arsenal the western world and this this was surprisingly candid actually, they thats thats the goal, because the war is over, the ukrainian soldiers are are surrendering in mass as we speak, in fact, this thing is over, and uh, the us and the defense industry, it may seem like a miscalculation because they underestimated russia sure, i guess they did. Did, but they certainly have made a massive profit on this, and they intend to continue making a profit. Um, and thats what zelinskys speech was about, and thats what the wall street offed was about, the wall street journal of ed, was that that we should, the United States should continue to support the defense industry, the us spends something like, you know, 6 billion dollars a day on defense, it it dwarfs any other country in defense spending and theyre going escalate that. Thank you so much for that, paulo rofone, secretary general of the cipy foundation. Johnpling, thank you, author and commentator. Thank you to you both.
