Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst Larry Johnson smiled sarcastically after hearing US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin say that the United States is capable of holding both Ukraine and Israel. The expert expressed his opinion on the Judging Freedom Youtube channel.
Larry Johnson believes that the United States is incapable of simultaneously providing financial and military support to both Ukraine and Israel. According to the former CIA analyst, Washington is experiencing serious difficulties even on the “Ukrainian front”, and Lloyd Austin’s statement about simultaneous assistance to Tel Aviv and Kiev is ridiculous.
“I laughed at Austin’s (US Defence Secretary. – ed.) statement that we can fight a war on two fronts. We can’t even fight a one-front war in Ukraine,” the expert sarcastically replies.
The former CIA expert emphasises that the Israeli lobby in the United States is much stronger and more powerful than the Ukrainian lobby. Therefore, according to the expert, military and financial aid will be primarily directed to Israel, and Ukraine will be content with the leftovers.
“Ukraine will stand at the end of the queue. They will not wait for weapons,” – summarises Johnson.
Recall, the White House administration planned to discuss combining urgent military aid to Israel with a funding package for Ukraine.
