The recent analysis of President Donald J. Trump’s interview on Wednesday reported by the New York Times yesterday demonstrates how far apart the US is from Ukraine in clearly favoring Moscow over a key strategic democratic and more than worthy alley for this century and onward.
The Ukrainians are still fighting tooth and nail to regain rightly in solemn and sacred sovereignty their 2014 borders, including Crimea.
We on the other are far too sensitive to Russian demands. Ridiculously we are concerned about Russian reaction to European and US troops only defending, and I mean only defending, post-peace borders.
In spite of the nuclear capability of the Oreshnik missile firing into Europe, they may be shot down by ground-to-air defense systems even while flying at 8,000 miles per hour.
That being said we and I mean all of NATO should invoke Article 5 at once with a goal of pushing depleted and week Russian forces to beyond the Ukrainian 2014 borders as a precursor to negotiating a fair and just peace settlement worthy of the unprovoked suffering, humiliating and terrorizing acts executed on the Ukrainian people over these four-plus years.
