Trump can't let Ukraine be his Afghanistan - Washington Examiner

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : This aggression is not a problem that can be isolated if Trump gives Putin an easy victory.
64% : To his credit, Trump has always been a vocal supporter of Israel and its Iron Dome air defense system -- he has even said he wants to find ways to incorporate similar technology in the U.S.'s homeland security architecture.
60% : Other policies Trump is considering could pay for these new investments.
51% : At the same time, though, he should understand that reducing American commitments to European security will spur a crisis of confidence rather than a renaissance in military investments.
47% : One thing that Trump should absolutely do, though, is avoid the mistakes of his immediate predecessor.
45% : His Cabinet appointees are an eclectic mix of national security hawks and skeptics, and Trump himself seems far more focused on competition with the Chinese Communist Party than European affairs.
36% : Others, such as Germany and France, have been far more sluggish -- and Trump has been rightly critical of their feet-dragging.
32% : Ukraine policy will be the first opportunity for Trump to show that this country still has a fighting spirit -- so long as he avoids repeating the worst mistakes of his predecessor.
28% : Striking a truly Reaganite tone, Trump and his team have promised to make drastic cuts to wasteful domestic spending and overbearing bureaucracy.
28% : Trump must understand that Ukrainian defeat would be felt by all the friends of liberty and strengthen the hand of America's bitterest enemies.
19% : While Trump has blustered plenty about being a "tariff man," choosing to reverse these harmful Biden-era policies would energize the economy, as well as vital alliances.
10% : If Trump reduces American support for Ukraine or cuts it off completely, he would be sending the exact same message to America's enemies that Biden sent in 2021.
