Ukraine Update for 2026

[John Corbett]

No one ever argued that things were hopeless in Ukraine.  That is a false premise.  The Trump argument has always been that the US should not bankroll the entire effort while others sit back and do nothing.  Trump solved that problem by not giving Urkaine billions of dollars.  He is requiring them to pay it back and putting pressure on our so called "allies" to do their part.  It's unfortunate that Obama only sent Ukraine blankets while sending Iran a plane load of cash.  Biden's weakness emboldened Putin to invade.  Biden's only plan was US taxpayers funding an endless war in Ukraine while Europe sat back and laughed at us.

Do you really think Biden planned anything during his presidency. I doubt Biden could even plan what he would have for lunch. I wonder if we will ever find out who the puppet masters were who pulled Joe's strings.

Do you really think Biden planned anything during his presidency. I doubt Biden could even plan what he would have for lunch. I wonder if we will ever find out who the puppet masters were who pulled Joe's strings.

His plan was no having plan except to send more and more money.  The US bankrolls the entire effort while "Europe" sits back and does nothing.  Most countries try to avoid these situations and spend money on their own citizens.  Our politicians want to control the flow of billions to military contractors who kick back the funds in the form of donations and cushy jobs for supporters and family.  This creates an endless cycle of war and spending that brought us Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
