Russia keeps attacking Ukraine because America hasn’t shown real strength yet. Former CIA chief Dan Hoffman knows what he’s talking about when he says Ukraine will keep getting hit until we prove we have leverage over Putin. This is exactly the kind of weak foreign policy that got us into this mess in the first place.
Putin thinks he can push America around because for years we let him. The dictator wants to steal four whole regions from Ukraine but he can’t even take them completely. That shows how badly his war is going and how much his military stinks.
Russia’s economy is falling apart right now. Their banks are crashing and their people are suffering under sanctions. President Trump has the perfect chance to squeeze Putin until he begs for mercy. We have all the cards if we just play them right.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky refuses to give up any land to Russia and he’s absolutely right. Giving Putin what he wants would be like rewarding a school bully for beating up smaller kids. America should never negotiate with terrorists or dictators who think they can steal whatever they want.
The previous administration sent billions of our tax dollars to Ukraine but forgot the most important part. Money without leverage is just charity. We need to use our economic power to crush Russia’s ability to keep fighting this stupid war.
Some experts think Ukraine doesn’t have to give up land for peace talks to work. They’re dreaming if they think Putin will just walk away empty-handed. The only language bullies understand is strength and we haven’t shown enough of it yet.
President Trump knows how to deal with tough guys like Putin. He proved it before and he can do it again. But this time we need to hit Russia where it really hurts in their wallet and their pride.
American strength ends wars and American weakness starts them. It’s time to stop playing games and show Putin that messing with our allies has serious consequences. The strikes will stop when Russia learns to respect American power again.
