Paul Krugman je pred desetimi leti odlično označil “Minskyjev moment” v nepremičninskih in kapitalskih balonih, in sicer kot tek zajca v risanki Bugs Bunny čez skalni previs: zajec s polno hitrostjo še nekaj časa teče nad prepadom, nakar pogleda dol in ugotovi, da je nad prepadom, v paniki samozanikanja še bolj zabrca, nato pa zgrmi v prepad. Očitno se enako dogaja Zelenskemu na obisku v ZDA. Najprej je voditelj republikancev v Kongresu Kevin McCarthy (vsled lastne agende republikancev) zavrnil podporo nadaljnjemu financiranju Ukrajine, dokler Zelenski transparentno ne poroča o porabi denarja in o tem, ali lahko z nadaljnjim financiranjem res zmaga v vojni:
When asked about renewed funding for Ukraine in its war against Russia, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday he has “questions” for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Where’s the accountability on the money we already spent?” McCarthy said, listing off questions he said he will ask the Ukrainian leader when he meets with him later this week. “What is the plan for victory?”
…
“Look, what Russia has done — invade — is wrong,” McCarthy said. “It’s an atrocity. We want to make sure that ends. I also have always said from the beginning, no matter what the issue is, I want accountability for whatever the hardworking taxpayers spend their money on, and I want a plan for victory.”
