Trump’s Russia Policy Undermines Ukraine and America’s National Security Interests

Vladimir Putin’s Russia is an enemy of the United States. Period.

Putin’s Russia has helped Iran kill Americans. Putin’s troll farms blast Russian disinformation and propaganda into the American cyberworld 24/7. Putin has held innocent Americans captive for years on spurious espionage charges. Putin is conducting increasingly kinetic hybrid warfare against America’s closest NATO allies. Putin has declared the American-led victory in the Cold War and the subsequent dissolution of the Soviet Union as the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century — and by invading Ukraine in February 2022, Putin launched a bloody effort to roll back that victory, beginning with the declared intention to exterminate Ukraine as an independent nation.
