The US should be very careful about what it promises to do for Ukraine
- US shouldn’t support or extend a security guarantee — through NATO or bilaterally — to Ukraine.

Why NATO Won’t Back Automatic Membership For Ukraine
It is understandable that Zelensky passionately desires to join NATO. But the alliance is composed of 31 current members and their individual and collective needs must be considered in equal amounts to the desires of the Ukrainian president. The harsh truth is that there is no viable path to a military victory for Ukraine, now or in the foreseeable future, regardless of how many planes, tanks, and missiles the West may contribute.

The Government Keeps Lying to Us About Ukraine. Where Is the Outrage?
by Michael Tracey
On June 4, a group referring to itself as the “Polish Volunteer Corps” issued a boastful announcement confirming its participation in a series of cross-border ground offensives into Russia.
