Opinion | The U.S. Needs More Guns and Soldiers, Now. It Can’t Handle a War. (Gift Article) Armed with powerful, sophisticated weaponry, the U.S. falls far short of the arms and personnel needed to fight long, grinding wars.

The US has the world’s most advanced military equipment, and quality matters immensely in combat. But quantity gets a say, too. And from ships to munitions to soldiers, the US lacks what is needed to fight a major war.

Read the full piece from @AronRTTT and me on how Trump’s Art of the Deal mindset seems absent from his approach to negotiations with Russia and Ukraine. (5/5) thehill.com/opinion/whit...

“Listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper.”

Putin equates respect with fear. But Trump’s professed respect for Putin would buy the U.S. president zero reciprocity in a deal unless backed up by material force and effective action. (4/5)

“The best thing you can do is deal from strength, and leverage is the biggest strength you have.”

Recently, Trump has eroded US leverage by denigrating Zelensky’s leadership, dismissing prospects of Kyiv fully recovering territory, and closing the door to NATO membership. (3/5)

“The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it.”

On the campaign trail, Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours (later, he amended this to six months). These declarations may resonate with voters, but read as desperate to Moscow. (2/5)
