“The Russia-Ukraine war drags on, having grown more dangerous after European governments removed limits on the use of weapons provided to Kiev. Instead of trying to promote peace through more intense involvement in the conflict, President Donald Trump should wind down Washington’s role, turning responsibility for aiding Ukraine over to the Europeans. Of course, the combatants should end the war. Most importantly, Russia should not have committed flagrant aggression by invading its neighbor. However, Ukraine should not have tempted fate by pursuing NATO membership and a U.S. alliance. Nor should Washington and its allies have engaged in reckless expansion by pushing the transatlantic alliance to Russia’s border and intervening in Ukrainian politics.” (06/12/25)
