The coverage treats Russia’s drone barrage as a morality play and Zelenskyy’s meeting with Trump as an audition for Western approval. That framing skips the harder question: what exactly is the U.S. interest, and what are we buying with each new commitment?
“Whether decisions will be made depends on our partners” is a telling line. It hints at a war effort shaped by coalition politics rather than clear strategy. Conservatives aren’t indifferent to Ukraine’s suffering, but public trust erodes when objectives stay vague and timelines never end. Accountability for U.S. aid is not cynicism; it is basic stewardship.
Any policy has to start with national security, rule of law, and a realistic path to stability. Support should be conditioned, measured, and tied to outcomes, not headlines. The principle at stake is America’s strategic clarity, not permanent involvement by default.
