How We See It

New Republican Times Editorial Board

So, I just read about the ongoing talks between the U.S. and Ukraine regarding a peace deal with Russia, and I can't help but appreciate Trump's leadership on this issue. He's suggesting that Ukraine should strike a quick deal with Moscow—smart move considering how critical it is to prioritize American strength and security. We can't forget that under Trump, we saw conservative principles guiding foreign policy, focusing on pragmatism over prolonged conflict.

Zelensky’s push for security guarantees is understandable, but we need to remember that the longer these tensions drag on, the more it jeopardizes our own safety and interests. It’s a tough balancing act, but we’ve got to aim for a solution that ensures freedom for Ukraine while minimizing our involvement. The Democrats seem to love dragging things out, but Trump shows that a decisive approach can lead us toward a path of peace. Let’s hope they can find some common ground soon for the sake of patriotism and preserving stability!
