US President Joe Biden fears Russian leader Vladimir Putin will retaliate against Western sanctions imposed on Moscow. This opinion was expressed on July 23 by a columnist for the publication The New York Post Douglas Murray.
“After decisive actions in Crimea, Moscow has strengthened its position in the international arena and can dictate terms to the West,” the journalist believes.
He also noted that Moscow’s response could be more damaging to the US. And Western sanctions against Russia have failed.
“In fact, Putin watched us more closely than we watched him. He knows that European gas depends on him. He knows that the sanctions have actually driven up gas and oil prices. Putin is actually getting even richer because of the sanctions. And he knows that while we are ready to arm Ukraine with relatively light ammunition, we will not arm them with something heavier. This is because of our fear of how he will react if we do this, ”Murray describes the situation in the USA.
The news is being added.
