National Security more important than Trump’s id
National Security more important than Trump’s id
Is Russia taking Ukraine good for the United States or bad United States? I think it’s bad.
Putin invaded Ukraine. Putin is destroying Ukraine. Putin is stealing Ukrainian children. Putin is killing Ukrainians. Putin is evil. Putin must be stopped.
Putin’s army was stopped by a much smaller army that had heroic bravery and limited quantities and capabilities of weapons from others. Putin’s army is being held in check by Ukraine’s army which is being forced to fight with one arm tied behind its back.
It turned out that the Russian military was a corrupt paper tiger that wasn’t very effective and is now only capable of indiscriminate long range bombing of civilians and human wave attacks capturing limited territory at great cost.
Ukraine could relatively easily evict Russia from Ukraine with adequate quantity and capabilities of weapons from United States and Europe, less restrictions on military targets and perhaps limited air power and air defense.
It’s not risking WWIII to help defend a country being invaded. It’s risking WWIII letting an evil, maniacal, kleptocrat expand his dominion. If Putin is willing to use nukes to take Ukraine (he’s not) he’d be willing to use them to take other ex-Soviet countries. He needs to be stopped now.
Zelenskyy needs to learn to read a room. He could have gone home with an agreement that offered a potential path to a security agreement. Instead he chose a quixotic path trying to publicly pressure a man with a delicate and flawed id for more.
I will hope that Trump (or his key advisors) can put his id aside and do what’s right for America.
