More plausibly, US has now run through its stocks of weapons sending them to Ukraine, and doesn't have the weapons to send. Framing it as refusing to send the weapons because US all of a sudden developed a conscience is a way to avoid admitting this.
Bush literally passed a Hague invasion act prior to the invasion of Iraq which basically says that US will invade Netherlands by force if the ICC tries to prosecute US soldiers for war crimes.

Blinken's statement serves as a poignant reminder of the west's increasing ineptitude and desperate attempts at control. The direct access provided by social media allows people to see through the carefully crafted narratives and manipulated images that once shielded western propaganda from scrutiny.
This unfiltered exposure, coupled with the emotional resonance it evokes, has left western leaders grasping for straws in their attempts to maintain control over public opinion. In a desperate bid to regain some semblance of authority, they're resorting to banning platforms like TikTok which only serves as further evidence of the west's waning influence and growing irrelevance on the world stage.
As a side note, nothing reveals that US is a single party system like Blinken being interviewed by Romney at the fucking McCain institute.
