Why Ukraine can’t provide a clear strategy to Mike Johnson
House Speaker Mike Johnson demands a clear strategy from Ukraine before he will allow a vote on more weapons from the United States. But that is a misunderstanding of what a military strategy is, so in this video I explain the concept.
Ukraine have to provide a strategy to a guy that never served a minute in the military? If it wasn’t this pathetic excuse, his boss would come up with some other BS to stop aid to Ukraine.
I do want the Biden administration to present a strategy.
Throwing 60 billion towards something without an idea of what should be achieved isn’t smart.
Also, I wished that Western governments donate a lot more to Ukrainian civil society.
I think organisations like “Come back alive” and other militia can spend money much more effective.
They buy combat drones that cost 500 dollars to produce. The Americans produce loitering drones that cost thousands each that are a lot less effective. They aren’t constantly being adjusted to realities on the ground like Ukrainian produce.

However, don’t get me wrong, I think the Republicans that are preventing the aid deserve death penalty.
But I am not an American, I do not think in terms of black and white, Democrat or Republican, CNN or Fox News, McDonalds or Burger King. I think all parties are messing up, prolonging a war that could have been over already.
Biden should grow some balls, sack some spineless people like Jake Sullivan and build a coherent team with a clear and well defined mission. And also they should understand that defending Western freedom and democracy is much more important than pretending to claim moral superiority and idealism over immigration policies and give in on the border issue.
No, Trump’s idea to build a wall is basically like a slap stick idea and should not be taken seriously (it is much more complex) but also the Democrats shouldn’t deny that the border is a mess and something needs to be done, even if it will not look nice.
And still, even if it takes a ridiculous and money wasting wall to be build to help Ukraine, it should be done.
The Republicans in their turn should understand that their fascist and populist retorics will blow up in their own faces sooner or later. The post-truth era is a lie: you can’t endlessly deny the truth as the truth will always be there.
Nazi-Germany and the Soviet Union were both defeated by the truth, and so will Trump eventually.
Better jump the ship now before it hits the iceberg of truth and sink along it.
Nikki Haley wisely did so but the rest of the party should follow suit and back her.
Without an idea of what weapons Ukraine will be given, no strategy can be put forward. Biden needs to come up with a shopping list of weapons for Ukraine, then proceed from there.
Exactly. Johnson is a moron, and demanding something like this is completely ludicrous.
Maybe Zaluzhny should say, in case we get long-range ATACMS, we’ll destroy X. If we get Warthogs, we’ll destroy Y. If we get nukes, we’ll destroy Z!

I like destroying Z most.
