"For a number of reasons, concerns that a Republican majority in Congress will undermine US support to Ukraine are unfounded," Paul Post argues.

"Because US support for Ukraine is now squarely associated with Biden as his signature foreign policy achievement to date, it makes it a partisan issue," Paul Poast explains.

"The US defense industry faces real challenges in its ability to actually produce weapons in a timely fashion," Paul Poast writes.

The election for speaker of the Republican-majority House was a bad omen for US aid to Ukraine and US democracy, Paul Poast writes.

"It is no surprise that Zelenskyy is trying all he can to change the war’s dynamics and avoid this outcome," Paul Poast writes.

The goal of Ukraine’s counteroffensive is not to defeat Russia per se, but to convince the West its continued support is worth it, Paul Poast argues.

in one way or another, bloc members are lending support to Moscow at a time when it has been largely cut off from the Western world, Paul Poast writes.

"Tanks alone will not be enough for Ukraine to win the war. But if used properly, they are still a vital component of modern warfare," Paul Poast writes.

"Once bullets and projectiles start flying, the variables at play multiply, and in the ensuing chaos there are limits to what can be controlled," Paul Poast writes.

Russia's use of a nuclear weapon in Ukraine would be catastrophic, but not solely because of the physical damage the it would cause, Paul Poast writes.
