Fox News Discovers Ukraine's 'Difficult Choice' Is Also Biden's
Zelenskyy’s 'difficult choice' isn't just about Ukraine; it's about Washington's choices too. While Fox laments the 'major hurdle,' they don't scrutinize the US's own fluctuating commitment. The Biden administration, for instance, pledged 'unwavering support' for Ukraine yet simultaneously pushed through over $14 billion in military aid to Israel via HR 815 this year, despite a chorus of human
rights warnings. One might wonder if 'peace plans' for Ukraine take a back seat when other geopolitical priorities, heavily influenced by powerful lobbies like AIPAC (which spent $3.3 million in lobbying in 2023, per OpenSecrets.org), demand immediate attention. How 'difficult' can a choice be when the options are largely dictated by an on-again, off-again supply chain of strategic interests? It
appears some 'peace hurdles' are more easily cleared than others, especially when they don’t involve the legislative muscle flexing on K Street.
