Wise words on Ukraine from 2 pundits

NY Post: How to make RUSSIA pay for its war with Ukraine — not America by Julia Ziskina

President Donald Trump has a golden opportunity to put America first and clean up former President Joe Biden’s Ukraine mess.

After Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the G7 froze $300 billion in Russian state assets.

But the Biden administration fumbled the chance to act on a clear, bipartisan green light to seize frozen Russian state assets and use them to fund Ukraine’s defense and rebuilding.

By passing the REPO Act in April 2024, Congress handed the then-president the power to seize at least $5 billion in frozen Russian assets sitting in US banks.

Enough is enough. The Trump administration has a chance to clean up this mess and get a good deal for Americans.

By immediately seizing Russian state assets — and forcing Europe to follow suit — Trump can ensure that America benefits first.

These funds can be used to buy American weapons, which will boost our defense industry, create tens of thousands of jobs and strengthen our military readiness.

The great Douglas Murray on How MAGA lost its way on Ukraine

All the allegation the MAGA right make against Ukraine infinitely truer of Putin’s Russia. Interested in international corruption? Try looking at Putin and his friends. Interested in an anti-Christian government? How about looing to the cynical faith of Putin, wo trumpets Christian values while firing rockets at great cathedrals like that in Odesa and recruiting jihadists to fight for him. Think Ukraine is cruel in forcing draft-dodgers into the army? Consider Putin’s army recruitment processes. Dislike Zelensky for not holding an election during a total war? Have you noticed Putin’s electoral habits?

By this stage Ukraine is not just a country that the MAGA right has never visited. It is a fantasy country that they imagine they know everything about – and all of it is bad.
