Ukraine spent the first years of Putin’s genocidal invasion begging Biden and NATO for the weapons to strike back in kind. Instead, Washington dithered, NATO cowered, and Kyiv paid the price. iPINIONS argues that while Biden delayed, Ukraine innovated. Now its drones are reaching Moscow, its weapons industry is booming, and Europe is looking to… Read more.
Trump’s insistence that Putin wants peace isn’t naïveté; it’s alignment. As Ukraine burns, his rhetoric echoes Kremlin propaganda, strains relations with Kyiv, and further erodes America’s credibility abroad. iPINIONS argues that Trump’s rhetoric isn’t just reckless.

Members skipped town for a two-week vacation, not bothering to vote on, much less pass, a critical aid bill. The House of Representatives has broken up for its… Read more.
Biden’s ‘slow yes’ helped Russia From the outset, US President Biden framed the war in Ukraine as a tectonic battle between autocracy and democracy. Yet, the US and NATO have been helping Ukraine, a democratic country, fight merely to survive rather than win. Last week, Time Magazine published a definitive update with this striking headline: “The Biden Administration’s… Read more.
Zelensky seeking more aid A year ago this month, President Volodymyr Zelensky came to Washington. He was seeking additional US aid to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s genocidal aggression. He addressed a Joint Session of Congress, where members hailed him as a hero. They viewed him as a beacon of democratic resilience. I duly commented on the Churchillian… Read more.
