This week the Institute for the Study of War, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group, assessed that “[s]everal Russian financial, economic, and military indicators suggest that Russia is preparing for a large-scale conventional conflict with NATO, not imminently but likely on a shorter timeline than what some Western analysts have initially posited,” within a matter of years.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is fiddling—aware of the increasing danger but unwilling to lift a finger to stop Putin’s advances.
The level of exasperation I and millions of other Americans feel at Congress’s refusal to give Ukraine the weaponry it needs to prevail against Russia is absolutely indescribable. If American soldiers end up fighting Russia in a ground war their lives will be on the conscience of every single member of Congress who blocked or refused to support this aid to Ukraine NOW.
Get the Ukraine funding done before you go on recess. This delay is inexcusable. Russia must be stopped—either Ukrainian soldiers will do it or ours will have to.
Don’t let it be the latter. Thanks.
