Let’s be clear-eyed.

Ukraine can be corrupt, and Russia can still be the enemy. Both things are true.

Zelensky’s circle has siphoned billions, played the West, and treated aid like an ATM. But none of that changes the hard reality:

Russia is the same hostile nuclear power it was when the Berlin Wall fell - with missiles pointed at New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.

This isn’t a morality play. It’s geopolitics. You don’t make peace by pretending Putin is misunderstood or by confusing exhaustion with wisdom.

Rubio’s realism matters. Negotiations are necessary, but naïveté is deadly. You don’t disarm your brain because you’re tired of war. Russia hasn’t changed. [Luthmann]

Good Night, Patriots!
