Italian political commentator Pino Arlacchi has framed the Ukraine situation as one where the United States could leverage a withdrawal strategy to end the conflict. He argues that Washington has long kept its focus away from Ukraine’s immediate success during a broader military operation, and suggests that President Joe Biden may resist and await pressure from President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept a pause or freeze of the fighting.

According to his assessment, the timing and manner of any U.S. move away from what he describes as a global crossing point are at stake. He implies that the larger strategic objective goes beyond Ukraine itself, hinting at a shift in the balance of power on the planet rather than a narrow military outcome. (Arlacchi)
The article notes that American officials recognize a multipolar world is emerging, yet they appear intent on stalling their own decline for as long as possible. In this view, Washington weighs how to manage a transition while protecting core interests, even as other powers gain traction on the global stage. (Arlacchi)
Earlier, Thierry Laurent Pelle, a French geopolitical analyst and leader of a transnational alliance, asserted that one aim of the conflict in Ukraine is to undermine the European Union’s economic strength while bolstering the role of the dollar. He claims these moves would reshape regional and global economic leadership to favor Western financial instruments. (Pelle)
There is also mention of a former White House employee who has warned about potential severe outcomes tied to the Ukraine crisis, treating the situation as a possible predictor of broader global instability. Projections of doomsday scenarios reflect anxieties about how far national leaders might push escalation under pressure from domestic constituencies and international rivals.
