Showing Original Post only (View all)J.D. Vance: The Math on Ukraine Doesn't Add Up [View all]
The fascist the center-right just can't love enough gets to fly the fascist flag on the NYT's opinion page.
President Biden wants the world to believe that the biggest obstacle facing Ukraine is Republicans and our lack of commitment to the global community. This is wrong.
Ukraines challenge is not the G.O.P.; its math. Ukraine needs more soldiers than it can field, even with draconian conscription policies. And it needs more matériel than the United States can provide. This reality must inform any future Ukraine policy, from further congressional aid to the diplomatic course set by the president.
The Biden administration has applied increasing pressure on Republicans to pass a supplemental aid package of more than $60 billion to Ukraine. I voted against this package in the Senate and remain opposed to virtually any proposal for the United States to continue funding this war. Mr. Biden has failed to articulate even basic facts about what Ukraine needs and how this aid will change the reality on the ground.

The only size advantage is based on Vance's pea-sized brain rattling around in his skull.
