President Trump recently told Ukraine’s President Zelensky that he “didn’t have the cards.” Three years into all-out war with Russia, things are a mess. Zelensky was told to give up, and he rightly responded, “We’re not playing cards.”
By the same logic, Donald Trump would have told George Washington to give up. The Continental Congress appointed George Washington Commander in Chief in 1776. In 1779, three years later, the American forces were losing about as many battles as they were winning. The battles won by Americans were not always the ones that mattered. In 1780, things got worse, as the British captured Charleston, South Carolina.
To listen to Donald Trump, you would think that the US is the only country supplying weapons to Ukraine. Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Finland are among the countries sending weapons to aid Zelensky’s cause. The British have designed weapons specifically for use in the Ukraine war. Germany is sending its most modern tanks to Ukraine, tanks that the German army doesn’t have yet. Ukraine is making some of its own weapons, including military drones.
In the past, the US was a leader against tyranny. Under Donald Trump, the US can’t even manage to follow what is clear to our allies.
Some Americans are fighting to defend Ukraine. No one seems to know exactly how many of these volunteers there are, or how many have been killed. CNN ran a story, “American Soldiers are Dying in Ukraine …,” on January 30, 2025. The story indicates that at least 44 Americans have died fighting for Ukraine. Unlike Donald Trump, some Americans feel compassion for Ukraine and feel compelled to take action.
