Abstract

The financial and economic turmoil of the XXI century has led to the fact that in the United States, domestic policy has gradually become dominant over foreign policy. In this regard, it would not be an exaggeration to say that foreign policy in a number of its key aspects has become a logical and integral continuation of the domestic political course of various American administrations, including the administration of J. Biden. In the conditions of the growing socio-economic crisis, which took the form of the "Biden recession", the democratic administration, which proved unable to cope with the growing wave of internal problems, firmly took the course of using the Ukrainian crisis to divert the attention of the broad strata of American society from the increasingly escalating domestic political problems, hoping at the same time, if not to maintain control over the US Congress, then at least minimize their losses in the upcoming midterm elections in November 2022. At the same time, the use of the "Ukrainian card" potentially gives the administration of J. Biden at the end of this year to use instruments of direct control over the political system of the United States, which are at the disposal of the head of the executive branch of government and the Supreme commander of the United States.
