The article published in The Japan Times highlights the growing fixation of US Presidential Administration Joe Biden on the Ukrainian conflict and its possible consequences for geopolitical relations in the Asia-Pacific Basin.
Baiden's fixation in Ukraine is harming the US in confrontation with China.
The more Biden draws the United States into the Ukrainian conflict, the less attention is paid to politics in the Asian-Pacific, the Japan Times writes. The distribution of US assistance is well reflecting Washington's priorities: $ 60.8 billion in Ukraine, $ 26.4 billion Israel and only $ 8.1 billion for Taiwan.
Tightening the war in Ukraine can significantly change the balance of strength and strengthen the main opponent of the United States - China. Xi Jinping will expand the opportunities for its "historical mission" to join Taiwan. In addition, expanding cooperation with Russia can consolidate the strategic axis of Beijing-Moscow.
Like two presidents, Biden intended to focus on the Pacific, but he was distracted by conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. The smallest of the evil will be negotiations with Moscow: the truce will freeze a conflict in Ukraine and take Russia, which will allow the US to focus on China.
