A lot of good things will come out of Vladimir Putin’s defeat in Ukraine. It will deter future Russian aggression in Europe and deter Chinese expansionism by demonstrating Western resolve and lethality. However, in providing Ukraine with much-needed assistance, Washington has offered full accountability to the American people, added large unpaid debts to American taxpayers, and provided the necessary support to counter the People’s Republic. It is imperative to do so in a way that does not consume resources.China.
Maintaining the ability to simultaneously confront Russia and China requires some of our European allies to do more to support efforts in Ukraine. This would allow the United States to shoulder most of China’s deterrence in the Pacific.
Conservatives should not support the Biden administration’s additional demands for funding to Ukraine unless there is a plausible plan to help Ukraine win the war in a financially responsible manner.
‘Frozen Conflict’: Looking Back at Key Moments of 2022 in Ukraine’s War with Russia
To date, U.S. aid has been large in scale, comprehensive in nature, and lacking a comprehensive strategy. As President Putin hits the one-year anniversary of his brutal aggression, the time is past for asking tough questions of the administration about US strategy regarding the conflict, its goals and objectives. The questions that have yet to be answered are:
*How did the regime adapt to the failure of the intelligence services, which on the eve of the invasion assessed that the invasion would result in a swift victory for Russia?
*How much additional funding does the government estimate Ukraine will need to win the war?
*What does the regime see in Ukraine’s endgame?
*The regime has taken actions and policies that appear to be in direct conflict with winning the war in Ukraine, notably the release of the “merchant of death” Viktor Bout and the Inflation Reduction Act, which curbs U.S. domestic energy production. How do you adjust the components of

Congress seeks clarification on these points, but lawmakers also responsibly deter China and what they can do to facilitate a victory in Ukraine that will prevent future Putin aggression. It is necessary to ponder.
Here are some ideas:
1. Contribute to the victory of Ukraine.
A victory for the United States would leave the Putin regime incapable of mounting subsequent attacks on NATO member states that could mandate direct involvement in the European war.
2. Unleash America’s energy dominance.
President Biden must develop a strategy to protect the American people (and allies) from the aftermath of Putin’s energy war. This requires maximizing production and access to reliable fuels (oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear power) and building pipelines and export terminals to move fuels to where they are needed for domestic consumption and export.

President Biden has justified limiting certain military aid to Ukraine in hopes of preventing Putin from using nuclear weapons, as Putin has done since the start of the war. , will only allow nuclear threats to hold our aid hostage. can help discourage the use of nuclear weapons.
4. Ukrainian leaders must cooperate with conservatives in parliament.
President Biden is politicizing the Ukraine issue in Congress. The Ukrainian leadership will restore bipartisan support for the war effort by engaging more actively with parliamentary conservatives and addressing their concerns about corruption and the transition to endless warfare. may be useful for

Many Americans are not convinced that continued engagement in Ukraine is in America’s national interest. The responsibility to insist on this lies with the Biden administration. Current, less than half I approve of the way he’s handling the situation.
