America fears in Ukraine. Why Washington is afraid of Putin's regime falling in

For the US, the war in Ukraine has its meaning and fears, and they change over time. Political scientist Viktor Nevzhenko traces three stages of this "hybrid wisdom" Washington hybrid wisdom The first stage of this weakness - is a reaction rather than a strategy, to an unexpected event - a treacherous invasion, Russia's attack on Ukraine.

The US reaction: indignation, but also the surprise that Russia has not been able to capture Kiev in three days, and Ukraine has been strictly resisted by the enemy. US reaction: The beginning of small military assistance to Ukraine and the flow of formidable words by Washington. The second stage of Washington of this "crazy" strategic wisdom Washington: not to give Russia to win, but also to prevent the defeat of Ukraine.

The United States has launched active international military-political assistance to Ukraine, but fears two "troubles"-the transfer of hostilities to Russia to Russia and the uncontrolled battle of NATO and Russia. Now the United States has entered the third stage of their geopolitical "wisdom" on the end result of the Russian-Ukrainian war: not to give Ukraine to win, but also to prevent public and catastrophic defeat of Russia.

For, on the one hand, the United States is afraid that in the event of an obvious victory of Ukraine, the uncontrolled collapse of Putin's power and disintegration will begin, the destruction of Russia, as in 1991 in the USSR. On the other hand, the United States is afraid that China will take advantage of Russia's defeat more than the US.
