Time to Be Done with Ukraine

If there was anything interesting to say in the English language about Ukraine, it was said or written months and maybe years ago — at least that was the case until Volodymyr Zelensky, President Donald Trump, and Vice President JD Vance got into it in the Oval Office last week. The resulting commentary from that episode has been everything one might expect — the interventionists decried it as boorish, almost blasphemous, and the isolationists crowed about sticking it to a man they view as the party most responsible for prolonging a conflict they want no part of. If there is a middle ground, I reckon Rich, Mark, and MBD have surveyed that half acre as well as can be done.

Ultimately, the event should have never happened because we should be done with Ukraine, and it with us.
