The coverage treats Donald Tusk’s condemnation as the natural, sufficient response, as if moral clarity is a strategy. Of course Russia’s barrage on Kyiv is brutal. But the real question is what comes after the statement, and who pays for it.
What gets missed is the steady drift toward open ended commitments with fuzzy objectives. Conservatives aren’t indifferent to Ukraine’s survival. We are wary of policies that substitute indignation for credible deterrence and then hand Americans and frontline allies the invoice. Words do not harden air defenses, replenish stockpiles, or define an end state.
A serious approach starts with national security and institutional stability: secure borders, rebuild munitions, and demand transparency on how aid is tracked and measured. If Europe wants leadership, it should carry a larger share, quickly.
The principle is public trust. Foreign policy works only when goals are concrete, costs are honest, and the rule of law is enforced at home and abroad.
