"While America has been obsessing over Jeffrey Epstein, Vladimir Putin has been making dangerous headway in Ukraine and expanding his war into Europe. Under such circumstances, genuine peace negotiations are impossible because Putin thinks he is winning. America's top foreign policy priority should be to reverse the Russian leader's mindset by increasing military sales to Ukraine which the Europeans will pay for."
"Instead, the Trump team and Russian officials together have drawn up a new 28-point peace plan, without first consulting Ukraine or European allies. This pro-Russian plan calls for major Ukrainian concessions and would leave the country naked to further Russian aggression. The White House has already denied Ukraine the weapons that could still stop the Russians, thereby effectively helping Putin slaughter Ukrainian civilians nightly with missiles and drones that target apartment buildings and heating systems."
"Hybrid war Most Americans don't realize Russia is already at war with Europe. This new mode of hybrid warfare is carried out on land, air, and sea, but without ground troops yet. Moscow is frequently using drones to shut down airports in Germany, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and Poland. Russian hackers are attacking European networks. Russian ships are cutting Europe's underwater cables, its warplanes are invading European airspace and buzzing military planes, and its saboteurs are carrying out assassinations and arson attacks."
Vladimir Putin is making dangerous headway in Ukraine and expanding a war across Europe, creating conditions that make genuine peace negotiations impossible because Putin believes he is winning. The highest U.S. foreign policy priority should be to change that perception by increasing arms to Ukraine, funded by European partners. A 28-point plan created by the Trump team and Russian officials demands major Ukrainian concessions without consulting Kyiv or European allies, leaving Ukraine vulnerable. The White House denial of crucial weapons enables nightly Russian missile and drone attacks on civilians. Russia is waging hybrid warfare across Europe, using drones, hackers, ships, warplanes, and saboteurs to intimidate and destabilize.
