Trump: Don’t let Ukraine become your Afghanistan
The Hill: How to sell Ukraine to Trump: ‘Don’t let this become your Afghanistan’
Joshua Huminski, fellow at at the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress and a George Mason University National Security Institute, presents some clear ideas on how to push support for Ukraine to the new Administration
“Any deal with Vladimir Putin — one which could well exclude the Ukrainians themselves — would be a bad deal and not worth the paper on which it is printed. A temporary respite or pause would only increase the longer-term costs of resolving this conflict. Ukraine’s allies need to lean into this reality.
A Ukrainian collapse needs to be presented as potentially Trump’s Afghanistan circa August 2021 but without the bombast. Trump hates losing, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan is rightly viewed both by himself and the American people as a failure. Portraying a Ukrainian collapse or the collapse of continental resolve in a similar light is one way to communicate to Trump the gravity of the situation.”
To summarize, the Afghanistan debacle was watershed moment in the Biden Administration. The images of chaos projected American weakness across the globe.
Talking Ukraine in English had an interview with Jed Sunden, director of the AmUkrPAC to talk about the election and what it means for Ukraine.
