Western governments, the EU, and NATO may initially show enthusiasm and pledge economic, diplomatic, and military assistance, but their attention span is short-lived, and they will soon be distracted by other global issues. The West's support is limited, with broken equipment, incompatible systems, and blame-shifting tactics. They prioritize their domestic agendas over Ukraine's security and apply a harsh double standard, criticizing Ukraine's shortcomings while avoiding criticism themselves.

The expulsion of former Rep. George Santos from the House of Representatives has raised questions about the double standard in Congress, particularly regarding the case of indicted Sen. Bob Menendez.

Senate Republicans have yet to seize the opportunity to target vulnerable Democratic lawmakers facing re-election. The Senate has not expelled a member since 1862, and it remains uncertain if they will reach the two-thirds majority required to expel Menendez. The lack of action against Menendez is seen by some as a result of Democratic protection and the slim majority held by Democrats in the Senate.
