On Thursday, Victor Davis Hanson posted an article at The Daily Caller<\/a> about the war in Ukraine. The article lists ‘ten realities’ about what is happening in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Here is the list:<\/p>\n

One \u2014 Reassuring an enemy what one will not do ensures that the enemy will do just that and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two \u2014 No-fly zones don\u2019t work in a big-power, symmetrical standoff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three \u2014 Europe, NATO members and Germany in particular have de facto admitted that their past decades of shutting down nuclear plants, coal mines and oil and gas fields have left Europe at the mercy of Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four \u2014 China is now pro-Russian. Beijing wants Russian natural resources at a discount.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five \u2014 Americans are finally digesting just how destructive the humiliating flight from Afghanistan was.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six \u2014 The Ukraine war did not cause inflation and record gas prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven \u2014 Putin did not invade during the Trump tenure, although he had been more aggressive under previous American leadership with his prior attacks on Georgia, Ukraine and Crimea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eight \u2014 It is not \u201cescalation\u201d to send arms to Ukraine. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nine \u2014 Putin may never fully absorb Ukraine as long as it can easily be supplied across its borders by four NATO countries. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ten \u2014 It is not \u201cun-American\u201d to point out that prior American appeasement under the Obama and the Biden administrations explains not why Putin wished to go into Ukraine, but why he felt he could.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link above to read the entire article for the details.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

We should not rehash the past but learn from it \u2014 and thereby ensure Putin is defeated now and deterred in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A strong America with strong leadership makes the world a safer place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
