Stunningly poor understanding by POTUS of the actual state of the war in Ukraine, of why Soldiers βwho donβt have the cardsβ fight (see Vietnam, Afghanistan, American Revolution), and why Ukrainian success is important to American strategic interests.

Thatβs very dangerous for the USβ¦we depend so much on our Allies. I served in Afghanistan in RC South 2009-2010 where thousands of Allies fought and many died.

I actually agree with Trump that Europe ought to lead more. But his zigzagging between Russia and Ukraine has turned European leadership from a wish into an essential need. My friend @general-ben.bsky.social on Europe's role in securing the peace in Ukraine: thenextmove.substack.com/p/from-miner...

I agree with Minnaβ¦sheβs smart and sheβs right. Ukraine should not take a bad deal that doesnt meet their interests. They are actually winning on the battlefield, according to SACEUR Cavoliβs testimony in front of HASC and SASCβ¦and the Russians will never live up to any agreement unless compelled.
