Ukraine's Freedom Forge

By: Harman，＆nbsp；Rudman ＆amp； Zakheim， RealClearPolitics — April 12th 2024 at 16:44
As the U.S. dithers on whether it will continue to arm Ukraine's fight for freedom, Kyiv is not waiting for Washington to do what it must and restock its arsenal for democracy. President Zelensky is transforming Ukraine's bread basket economy into a denizen of drones and other armaments that is helping Ukrainian forces arrest Russian advances as it waits for decisive weapons from the West. Two years into the war, the message for Washington and Moscow is that Ukrainians will continue to fight and will do so with an innovative and entrepreneurial military-industrial base.

The Math on Ukraine Doesn't Add Up

By: Sen. J.D. Vance， New York Times — April 12th 2024 at 16:44
President Biden wants the world to believe that the biggest obstacle facing Ukraine is Republicans and our lack of commitment to the global community. This is wrong. Ukraine's challenge is not the G.O.P.; it's math. Ukraine needs more soldiers than it can field, even with draconian conscription policies.

Maybe my least surprising political position is advocacy for free and open discourse. Without free speech as a bedrock principle, democracy would mean little. If we can't, as private citizens, receive, judge, and debate ideas and information, the decisions we make on the basis of that information cannot themselves be considered "free" in any meaningful sense. If some central authority prevents me from discussing information-or even the possibility of the existence of information-that could change people's minds about that authority's course of action, all of our rights have been damaged.
