Operation Ukrainian Liberty

It's time to throw away the metrics used to measure whether the U.S./NATO/EU response to the war in Ukraine is a success. At this point, the only metric that matters is whether Ukraine's military is throwing Putin's military out of Ukraine. While it's true that some sanctions are helping the Ukrainian military, the only true thing that matters is whether Putin's troops are thrown out of Ukraine.

Anyone thinking that Putin will call it a career after retaking Ukraine haven't studied him. They haven't paid attention to him recently, either. Putin wants Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland back in Russia's federation, most likely within the next 5 years.

The Biden administration continues clinging to their strawman argument against a no-fly zone. That's ancient history. There's a growing bipartisan (and bicameral) support for sending the MiG-29 jets from Poland to Ukraine. Additionally, this bipartisan group is pushing for beefing up air defense systems to protect Ukraine, especially Kyiv, from Russian airstrikes.

The newest option getting discussed by former generals on TV is the Russian S-300. Here's what Gen. Keith Kellogg told Fox News:

Speaking on Fox News, Keith Kellogg, formerly the national security advisor to Vice President Mike Pence, remarked that if the West won’t let Ukraine have additional MiG fighter jets to fend off Russian attackers, they should seek projectile-based help from certain NATO-member countries.

The general said two Balkan countries, Greece and Bulgaria, along with fellow NATO member Slovakia, all have S300 missile technology that itself was originally designed by Moscow.

Let's stop Putin immediately. The Russian military is demoralized. The Ukrainian military is understaffed but willing. They just need some additional equipment, equipment that NATO has.

All that's missing is a U.S. commander-in-chief, aka CinC, who's willing to say yes to victory. We've got a CinC who's willing to be supercautious. (He's been that way for 50 years.) Here's the Keith Kellogg interview:

There's no reason why U.S./NATO shouldn't be arming Ukraine to the teeth and unleashing the dogs. The upside is high. The downside is virtually non-existent. It's time to stop being cautious. It's time for winning.

It's time for Operation Ukrainian Liberty.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
