Is the United States FINALLY Changing Course on Ukraine?

Paul J. Warburg

The United States is using Ukraine's vulnerability to negotiate better terms and profit from arms sales rather than acting out of moral obligation. This transactional approach is dangerous because it means alliances will only exist as long as the US benefits financially.

Ukraine Never Ceases to Amaze Me

Paul J. Warburg

Ukraine is not losing the war; historical trends show defenders win if they wait long enough for aggressors to exhaust their resources. Ukraine must wait to outlast the enemy, as Russia is progressively weaker and Ukraine is progressively stronger.

Still think Russia is winning the war? WATCH THIS

Paul J. Warburg

Ukraine will defeat Russia if given enough time and support needed to accomplish that difficult but achievable objective. Giving Ukraine the ability to strategically and tactically defeat Russia today or within the next couple of months or even the next couple of years, that will actually be the most peaceful outcome in the end.

Can Ukraine Survive Without U.S. Aid?

Paul J. Warburg

Ukraine will not capitulate despite the pause in U.S. aid because Europe can fill critical gaps and the likelihood of active U.S. support for Russia is extremely low. The situation is bad but not as bad as it could be, with frozen battle lines likely persisting until European spending bills produce weapons for Ukraine.

Ukraine is Finally Calling Trump’s Bluff

Paul J. Warburg

The US lacks leverage over Ukraine because it has disengaged, so pressuring Ukraine only encourages Russia to continue the war. The best outcome is for the US to stop pressuring Ukraine and either consistently disengage or consistently engage.
