New National Security Strategy Is Heavy on Rhetoric, Light on Detail
Without explaining how national means can be used to achieve desired ends, the strategy is just empty rhetoric.

Trump does not care about Ukrainian sovereignty or democracy. Trump does not frame this war as one between good vs evil, democrats vs autocrats, or the colonized vs the imperialists. He just wants the war to end so he can take credit. The details don't matter to him at all.
