President Trump’s recent diplomatic outreach to both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky has ignited fierce debate. On one hand, peace is always preferable to war, and bringing the Russia-Ukraine conflict to an end is a worthy goal. On the other hand, peace must not come at the cost of rewarding Putin for his unprovoked aggression.…
The Path to Ending the Ukraine War – Leadership, Sovereignty, and Swift Action
As an independent Christian conservative, I believe any discussion of the war between Russia and Ukraine must start with a fundamental truth: Russia is the aggressor. They invaded Ukraine, violating its territorial sovereignty, and the bloodshed we’ve seen since 2022 is entirely a result of that choice. This isn’t about murky geopolitics or pointing fingers…

Land Mines, Putin’s Games, and a Call for Clear Leadership
As an independent Christian conservative, I see the events surrounding the war in Ukraine as a sobering reminder of how messy and morally complex geopolitics can be. The Bible tells us in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” But peace doesn’t come from looking the other…
Supporting Ukraine with Strength, Strategy, and Faith
The war in Ukraine entered its 1,000th day yesterday, a grim milestone marked by a bold Ukrainian strike into Russian territory using U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles. This act of defiance underscores Ukraine’s determination to reclaim its sovereignty against Vladimir Putin’s aggression, a battle that resonates deeply with those who value freedom and the rule of law.…
It’s About Time: Biden’s Decision to Arm Ukraine with Long-Range Missiles
Well, here we are—after two plus years of hemming and hawing, President Biden has finally given Ukraine the green light to use long-range missiles, targeting Russian forces in the Kursk region and even hitting North Korean allies. It’s a significant step, but let’s be honest—it’s one that should have happened a long time ago. While…
Olaf Scholz and Vladimir Putin: A Conversation Built on Absurd Demands
In a recent phone call, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin had their first official dialogue since 2022.
