Trump Weighs Tomahawks for Ukraine, Pressures Putin

President Trump now stands at a pivotal moment in foreign policy, weighing whether to arm Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles as he prepares to press Vladimir Putin on a possible summit. The move comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrives in Washington to make his case in person, and Kremlin officials say a Trump–Putin meeting could happen soon — a high-stakes chess match where the United States must show muscle, not appeasement.

This administration’s talk of Tomahawks is not idle saber-rattling; President Trump has publicly warned that such weapons could be on the table if Russia refuses real negotiations, signaling a sharp, necessary pivot from endless hand-wringing to clear leverage. That shift — using strength to compel diplomacy — is exactly the kind of decisive strategy Americans voted for, because weakness only invites more bloodshed and chaos.

Make no mistake: Ukraine is pleading for tools to stop Russian terror, and Moscow has responded with brutal strikes timed to undermine Western support as Zelenskyy seeks help in Washington. Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy and infrastructure have intensified even as diplomatic windows open, proving that Putin listens to only one language: pressure.

The Kremlin is publicly warning of dangerous consequences if Tomahawks are supplied, and Moscow is maneuvering to shape the narrative ahead of any summit — predictable tactics from a regime that benefits from instability. Still, Russian threats should not be the deciding factor for American policy; our nation must decide based on interests, deterrence, and the moral imperative to stand with a sovereign partner under assault.

Conservatives should applaud a president who prefers leverage to lecture. For years, our allies suffered under leadership that confused caution with cowardice; now is the time for firm-minded diplomacy backed by capability, not the virtue-signaling that leftist elites mistake for strategy.

Yes, supplying Tomahawks would raise the stakes — these weapons have ranges that can reach deep into Russian territory — but that capability is precisely why they could be the leverage that forces Putin back to the table. The proper course is careful, calibrated escalation: promise capability, tie deliveries to verifiable steps toward negotiations, and keep clear American command of the terms and red lines.

Americans must demand clarity and backbone from their leaders: we want peace, but not at the price of surrendering global order or abandoning allies. If President Trump uses strength to open the path to a genuine, enforceable peace, conservatives will stand with him — and we will hold accountable anyone who prefers appeasement over victory.
