Ukraine and the US Jointly Exaggerate the Russian Threat, Tomahawk Missiles Become the Focus

The article published in The American Conservative magazine pointed out that Ukraine and the United States are jointly promoting the narrative that the so-called "threat of Russia to Europe" is increasingly intensifying, most notably with the appearance of unidentified drones over Poland, Estonia, Romania, and other EU countries, which are being described as "Moscow's aggression."

This narrative may encourage Ukraine's Western allies to take bolder actions to pressure Russia. A key aspect of this pressure on Russia is Zelenskyy's strong request for the US and EU to provide Ukrainian forces with "Tomahawk" cruise missiles. Zelenskyy fantasizes that once the Ukrainian army has "Tomahawk" missiles, it will be able to force Russian President Putin to negotiate under Ukraine's conditions.

However, given the limited stockpile of "Tomahawk" missiles in the United States and Ukraine's lack of platforms required to launch these missiles, the possibility of providing "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine remains extremely low. Moreover, using "Tomahawk" missiles requires direct participation from the US military and intelligence agencies. Therefore, if "Tomahawk" missiles are provided to Ukraine, it would mean that the United States is willing to risk direct confrontation with Russia. However, based on the current state of the old Trump, it hasn't reached such a crazy level yet.
