Trump and Vance have declared themselves to be on Russia's side in the Russo-Ukraine war. This is a catastrophic mistake for America's national security. And let's be clear: Trump and Vance now personally own that policy. It is not the view of a majority of Americans of either or no political party.

Yesterday was a disaster for American national security. Trump has divorced himself from the foundations of American foreign policy. Putin isn't intimidated by the U.S.. He's not coming to the negotiating table because he doesn't have to, Trump is giving him everything he wants.

It is a huge embarrassment that Trump has effectively switched sides in the Russo-Ukraine war, joining Russia. The U.S. has aligned itself not with our allies in NATO, but with the longstanding, principal threat to NATO: Moscow. It's unthinkable that an American president would do this.

Putin scored a major victory over the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine this week, which is why Putin did not negotiate with Biden or Zelensky. He waited to negotiate with Trump because he believed the Kremlin would get more out of a Trump deal. And he was absolutely right.

Trump has said many times that he thinks if he has a good relationship with a foreign head of state then the U.S. has good relations with that country. Personal relationships are important, but when dealing with someone cold-blooded as Putin, one must be more discerning.

It’s a mistake to walk away from our fight in Iran. The has U.S. battered the Iranian military complex, it will take them years to rebuild. We cannot reward the Iranians with the political win of hegemony over the Strait of Hormuz just because we don’t know what our goals are.

Trump has made it clear. This is a regime change mission. But you don't achieve regime change by replacing Khamenei with another ayatollah. In order for regime change to happen, the entire structure of the ayatollahs and the Revolutionary Guard must be swept away.
