Amazing letter from Zelensky to Putin
05 Jun 2026

We’ve had many posts and discussions about the Ukraine/Russia war over the last four years, with me making the case that both Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump have been (for different reasons) unwilling to support the Ukrainians with the type of military capability that would allow them to win the war. That failure to act […]

In what universe should the United States suggest a “peace plan” that gives Russia more Ukrainian territory than it has been able to win on the battlefield? Or that Ukraine, after being invaded repeatedly by a much larger Russia, should have the size of its armed forces limited? And that its security should be guaranteed […]

“Russia is never as strong, or as weak as she appears.” This quote, variations of it attributed to Otto Von Bismarck*, Winston Churchill and others, seems surely to be true. Putin himself put out a variation of it, “Russia was never so strong as it wants to be and never so weak as it is […]

It all comes down to really one question. Is it acceptable to the United States for the Iranian regime to have nuclear weapons? If the answer is no, then Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have performed a tremendous service to the world. The wicked Iranian regime has directly and indirectly killed perhaps 1000 Americans since […]

Ukraine Stuns the Russians! Can we finally get the U.S. fully committed to helping them achieve victory?

Ukraine Fallacy Day 5: The war is unwinnable
10 Mar 2025
The old saying “it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog” is something that is clearly rejected by some, including some of our beloved Bereans, when considering Ukraine. I have called for victory, if that is what the Ukrainians want, and suggested that they […]

This is a favorite one of the conservative leftists, who are following in the footsteps of their progressive leftists of the past in playing the “blame America first” game. If we would just not have been so threatening to Russia, if we would have realized their legitimate sensitivity of external threats since they’ve been historically […]

Imagine last summer you were having a summer BBQ with your friends and family members on the 4th of July, and your gun-loving neighbor (he has a collection of hundreds of guns and ammunition to last through the next three armegeddons and civil wars) decides to invade your BBQ with his beer-drinking buddies and they […]

This may be the easiest or the hardest fallacy to overcome, because the argument is incorrectly made. Of course we can continue to fund Ukraine. The question is do we want to. The fact that we cannot in total spending continue to spend $2T deficits forever does not mean we can’t spend some smaller amount […]
