What a big deal! A few days ago, the US Congress passed relevant bills to "endure pain" to cut down 15.6 billion US dollars of epidemic prevention funds and continue to "support" Ukraine.
Subsequently, The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Pelosi, was forced to ask this question in a series of press conferences, and the old lady's expression management was a little out of control.
"You've asked the question for the third time, yes," pelosi said, "well, you know, Ukrainians are dying. ”
The reporter, Sherman, immediately cut off Pelosi's words: "People in the United States are dying, aren't they?" ”
The video spread online and quickly became a hit on social media, and many people suddenly realized that they had not paid attention to the epidemic in the United States for a long time.
According to the statistics of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 3 pm Beijing time on March 18, the cumulative number of new crown infection cases in the United States 81350883, the existing confirmed cases 23532231 cases, and the cumulative death cases 996072.
In the past 24 hours, there have been 47,234 new confirmed cases and 1,459 deaths.
On the one hand, the nationals threatened by the epidemic, on the other hand, Ukraine in the war, who to choose?
Spending money to fight the epidemic is a "big project". In the eyes of the United States, the development of vaccines, the treatment of patients, the implementation of isolation measures, etc., need to invest enough time and money, the cost is very large.
If you use your money for war, you will be more profitable.
The sense of panic created by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to the world can make the United States take the opportunity to send a wave of "war wealth", and the sales of military weapons do not have to worry.
After a battle was fought, Russia was sanctioned and suppressed everywhere, its comprehensive national strength was traumatized, and the United States also consolidated its hegemonic position.
No matter how you look at it, this is all a steady "business".
As for the domestic epidemic problem, they are not very worried. Dead COVID-19 patients, all old, weak, sick and disabled, will be eliminated sooner or later, and the new crown has only accelerated the process.
Moreover, military operations between Russia and Ukraine can effectively divert the attention of the people.
Saving the lives of Americans costs money; "saving" the lives of the Ukrainian people can earn money.
There is no doubt that the United States has chosen the latter.
The biden administration has reduced the epidemic prevention funds from 45 billion to 22.5 billion to 15.6 billion, and the last cent is gone.
It would be nothing to say that the United States wants to provide "humanitarian relief" to Ukraine.
The problem is that the money should have been used to prevent the epidemic, and they were going to rescue Ukraine, and they had not yet come up with any practical action.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Ukraine already has 3.169 million refugees, most of whom have gone to Europe, while the United States is "watching the fire from the other side".
A small number of refugees went to the United States and were arrested by the police.
For so many days, I did not see how much material they had to help Ukraine. Two days ago, a non-profit organization in New York wanted to give Ukraine 400 bulletproof vests, and it was stolen.
Even more magically, it was discovered that these bulletproof vests were second-hand.
So what did the United States send to Ukraine? A weapon that adds fuel to the fire.
They spend money to incite war and do not want Russian-Ukrainian peace talks at all. Many of those funds were also used to mobilize NATO troops, weapons and equipment, and to deploy Poland and Lithuania.
As soon as the world was in turmoil, the United States, the "arms dealer," became rich.
From beginning to end, the Biden administration's statement on the Russian-Ukrainian issue is that it is not interested in the three wars.
They don't want to directly clash with Russia, they just want to arch the fire, make some money by the way, and even cut off the funds used by the people to prevent the epidemic.
If this continues, the death of the people of the United States and Ukraine will probably have a common point: the initiators are all the United States.
