Ukraine-Aid Critics Should Present Their Vision

America did not build its web of international alliances blindly. They were consciously constructed in the early years of the Cold War with a specific purpose in mind: containing the spread of global communism. Democrats and Republicans alike knew that the Soviet Union would dominate the world if it could capture the industrial might of Western Europe and Japan. NATO and our mutual-defense treaty with Japan were created to eliminate that threat.
