America Might End up in This War. Don’t Kid Yourself.
Why this conflict will expand and put us into an extremely tough position.
US leadership claims we won’t be getting involved in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This could change.
I’ll explain.
NATO allies have done things “mostly” correct up until this point. Billions of dollars in aid are en route and roughly 16,000 foreign fighters are traveling to fight the invasion.
But we’ve all been guilty of wishful thinking. And much of that is a credit to the Ukrainian people and Zelenskyy’s incredible leadership.
His natural ability is evident even in his smaller acts.
For example, yesterday, Zelenskyy pulled up a chair to sit directly in front of the press rather than stand behind a podium.
He was candid and honest, wanting to sit amongst them and talk like a peer.
It’s hard not to draw comparisons to Putin’s increasingly distant behavior.
