Last week, the Pentagon hit the brakes on some critical arms shipments to Ukraine, citing the need to replenish our own defense systems. That pause didn’t last long. President Trump saw the news, heard the reports of civilian casualties, and said, “Not on my watch.” He ordered those shipments back on track, vowing more defensive…
Trump, Zelenskyy, and the Weight of War
Yesterday’s White House meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a high-stakes diplomatic encounter that revealed much about where both leaders—and their respective nations—stand on the war in Ukraine. What was meant to be a discussion on peace and cooperation quickly became a tense and sometimes awkward exchange, as Trump questioned Ukraine’s…
Trump’s Idiotic Embrace of Russian Propaganda on Ukraine
President Trump’s latest attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a "dictator" is not just false—it plays directly into Russian propaganda.

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…
