    The report also advocates for a shift in how Washington views Russia, urging policymakers to stop treating the country as a superpower or near-peer to the U.S. solely because of its nuclear arsenal.

    The report emphasizes the need for the U.S. to be fully engaged with its global allies, particularly those on the front lines of Russian aggression, manipulation, and coercion. This stance pushes back against the rising trend of isolationism, especially within the GOP.

    Yes, please!

    A key element of the proposed strategy is ensuring Ukraine’s victory in its war against Russia. The report advocates for “massive” military and humanitarian aid to Kyiv and supports allowing Ukraine’s forces to strike targets deep inside Russia using U.S.-supplied weapons.

    Ahh, so actually winning rather than slowly losing. Yes, I do believe this is a more effective deterrent against Russia. Perhaps our esteemed leaders will take note now.

    The Helsinki Commission is an interesting US congressional organization, consisting of members from the Senate, House and the Executive branch.

    Even more interesting, is it’s currently chaired by a Republican, Joe Wilson, aka the “You lie!” guy whom you would expect to be MAGA partisan.
