This entire article is just fifth column “journalism”: Defeatism, Ukraine can’t win, this war is too expensive for the west, we should invest the money in our societies instead.
It even paints the ongoing ukrainian counter offensive as a failure, even though Ukraine has captured twice the area in 5 days than the Russians did in the last 8 months.
Judging an offensive by it’s first days, still deep into a news blackout, only on russian released videos and pictures is just rubbish.
Edit: And coming back to the headline: The US has just announced to replace the destroyed Bradley and Stryker vehicles, the M1 Abrams tanks will arrive in the coming months, F-16 pilots training for Ukrainians has begun, and there’s a two-and-a-half-year timeline for the delivery of 6 Patriot systems.
Even Russian President Vladimir Putin is now commenting on the destruction of NATO’s finest weaponry, asserting that since the beginning of the counteroffensive Ukraine has lost over 300 armored vehicles - including over 150 tanks.
Images circulating the web verify that among these are NATO supplied tanks and armor.
This article implies that the around ten visually confirmed Ukrainian tank losses (see Oryx on Twitter) “verify” Putin’s claim of 150 lost Ukrainian tanks. That’s a really fringe logic.
Despite this support, Russia seems to be meeting most of its special military operation’s objectives - even holding a referendum on newly gained territories with positive results for Moscow.
Completely neglecting the failure to take Kyiv and eventusl retreat, the routing of the russian army on Kharkiv, the russian retreat from Kherson. Those sham-referenda (which do not adhere to any proper election standards whatsoever) were conducted abour territory which russia does not even fully control.
The destruction of the pipeline hurt many of the United States European allies - particularly Germany - which is now headed into a recession.
The North Stream 1+2 pipelines were put of service before their destruction. The opening of NS2 was halted when the russian invasion happened, and NS1 was not delivering any gas because russia cut the supply on their own initiative. This article is insinuating that the US destroyed those pipelines and damaged its partners by this, but even if it had been the US, the damage was already done - by Russia.
Another scenario would be if Ukraine does in fact lose - and at this point, it is looking likely - that Washington can attribute their loss to Kiev’s inability to take their advice.
Betteridge’s law of headlines says: “No”.

So no, Biden won’t abandon Ukraine.
Just to rant a bit more:

That’s just laughable at this point.
