In a recent editorial, National Review condemned Donald Trump's rhetoric regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, labeling it as a total moral inversion. The editorial highlights Trump's unfounded attacks on Ukraine and President Zelensky, including falsely accusing Zelensky of starting the war. It argues that Ukraine is a sovereign nation defending itself against Russian aggression, emphasizing a stark contrast in democratic values between Ukraine and Russia. The piece warns against undermining Ukraine, suggesting Trump might be favoring a deal with Moscow at the expense of American allies.
National Review characterized Trump's words and especially the blame he's heaped on Ukraine for the outbreak of hostilities three years ago as breathtaking.
You don't need to portray Ukraine as a shining city on a hill to acknowledge that it is much more committed to democracy and the rule of law than is Russia.
Needless to say, Ukraine is not the problem here... its existence as a sovereign state with a national identity distinct from Russia's, and its failure to roll over.
Humiliating and undercutting an ally, perhaps with worse to come in the form of a sweetheart deal for Moscow, is not.
