Global problems need global solutions. NATO is a real solution to Russian expansion under Putin. Ukraine must not be the next victim to Russia’s invasion. Climate change is real. The hard evidence is many more extreme weather events. We’ve seen the melting of the polar caps and the rise in sea levels. Nuclear disarmament is critical to world peace. Again, global solutions can work. Unilateral actions or no actions will fail.
Global solutions are very difficult to accomplish. No one country will be given credit, if Putin gives up in Ukraine. It is not the Republican party in general that wants to cut aid to Ukraine, but a small group of radical Republicans, who put political gain ahead of what’s best for the country and the world.
With this small group of Republicans, there is no room for compromise. The opinion below, singles out Marjorie Taylor Greene, as the leader in the anti-Ukraine aid campaign. But, the driving force is a disengagement into world affairs, at a time where alliances are critical.
The best way to defeat Rep. Greene and others is at the polls in November.

Just as I posted the blog on Globalism, I read in the Washington Post, how Trump favored cutting a deal with Russia in exchange to end military aid to Ukraine. Most likely, what Putin wants most, is for the US to deny Ukraine from ever becoming part of NATO. This would be on top of ceding the eastern flank of Ukraine and Crimea to Russia. Rep. Lindsey Graham recognizes the importance of alliances. According to the Washington Post, “The way you end this war to me is you make sure Ukraine gets into NATO and the E.U.,” Graham said. “He [Trump] doesn’t say much about that. I don’t know if he’s thought too much about it.” Graham is just being kind to Trump. Of course, he’s rejected this, as has little interest in working with NATO.
