In this episode, we explore how U.S. policy toward the war in Ukraine has taken a sharp and complex turn. Rather than being shaped by events on the battlefield, American support is now largely driven by domestic political dynamics. Under the current administration, there’s been a move away from consistent backing toward a more transactional approach—seeking swift peace deals and encouraging European allies to share more of the burden.

We also examine how the structure of U.S. aid is changing: shifting from direct grants to loans and investments tied to Ukraine’s natural resources. The conversation delves into the deepening partisan divide in the U.S., especially within the Republican Party, which complicates any chance of a stable, long-term strategy. Ultimately, the episode reveals how internal political gridlock is forcing Washington into a reactive stance—one that risks eroding America’s global credibility.
