Ukraine can win war with Russia with our help

House Speaker Johnson and Mr. Trump have succeeded! Russia has been able to destroy many of Ukraine’s power plants, because Ukraine has run out of air defenses, because Trump told his house speaker to block aid to Ukraine. Trump’s message: MAGA needs to be loyal to Putin.

UK Foreign Secretary Cameron, went to Florida to urge Trump to support what is clearly U.S. interests, instead of supporting Russia’s — Cameron was shown the door. Cameron tried meeting with Speaker Johnson, who refused our closest ally (probably fearing his indefensible stance being exposed by Cameron).

Russia, Iran, China and North Korea appear to be working together to upend the current world order of peace, freedom and democracy. Ukraine is just the first step. Trump wants to pull out of NATO and let Russia have what it wants — which is clearly to have its old empire back. Russia already controls Belarus, if Ukraine falls, Moldova will soon follow. The men of these countries will likely be force-conscripted into Russia’s war of conquest, aiming for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania next. After that, Poland and destabilizing as many countries as possible. Russia is now quite confident that they have scared NATO countries into not following Article 5 (the contract that if any NATO country is attacked, all NATO countries will defend it — has only been invoked once, for the Sept.11 attack on the

U.S.) when all these NATO countries get attacked. None of this is hyperbole. It is what Trump, Putin and the other dictators have said and done, themselves.

Ukraine can win this war, for all of us, if we could just support them with all the weapons they need. Patriot systems, F16 fighters, long-range rockets and HIMARS launchers, etc. Ukrainians fight so we won’t have to spill a drop of blood.
