Everything you say can be said to be correct. But if the US military can’t win any war, and if our weapons don’t work on the modern battlefield, and if we aren’t willing to stand behind any commitment or support any friend when the chips are down - do we really need this huge military and intelligence and diplomatic apparatus? People talk about getting rid of ineffective government programs, and I gotta say, the military isn’t looking very effective right now. You won’t get lower hanging fruit than helping Ukraine fight off an unprovoked invasion.

The people pushing for isolationism should be viewed with great suspicion. China, Russia, and Iran would love the US to leave a vacuum on the international stage so that they can step in and take power. They play on the selfishness, greed, and ignorance of the US population so that they give up their long held advantages for tiny amounts of short term profit.

I would say this I fully understand where she’s coming from and I partially agree with her. The reason she feels like this, and the reason that Ukraine has suffered in the way that is suffered during this conflict is because the United States did not show real back bone or real commitment. President Biden has allowed this conflict to drag on and he’s allowed the American Congress to daughter and play games with the actual Support. This is cost hundreds maybe thousands of Ukrainian lives.. real bold leadership would’ve recognized from the beginning that Russia had no place in moving forward, which is potential attack on Ukraine the western allies if they truly cared, could’ve very easily flooded Ukraine with a standup force to stop us from happening they could do it right now if they want nobody has to see a front line has to see shots fired and anger, but we could occupy Ukraine and allow the Ukrainian army to fight war on his front lines but instead we chose not to. We chose to play a game rather than fight a war. Where I think she is completely misguided is that Russia does not intend to stop there and anytime you hear someone say we don’t want to get into a direct conflict with Russia because they’re a nuclear power., yeah well so are we. And Putin has no intention on stopping at Ukraine. How far do you let him go because he does have a plan and he’s hoping that there are plenty of people just like her who are willing to say that’s kind of deal because lives are being lost and because we don’t have a plan. As much as I can agree with the absolute truth that no plan really means no support that does not mean that we allow more lives to be lost. I also see that because of our lack of clarity and commitment. We will allow the trumpet ideas to settle in that we finally have an agent of chaos that can scare everybody because they don’t know what he’ll do. Those people I say you’re completely misguided. Everybody knows what Trump will do and if you understand chaos, you also understand what he will not do. He will not stand up against a nuclear power. You can call it the ball in the China shop ready to break all of your China, but he’s not ready to break anybody else’s China, and are you willing to put America’s interest and safety in the hands of a person who is only concerned about his standing in the eyes of the world? Regretfully most Americans are. I do not have a problem with an American president trying to see peace. I do not have a problem with an American president trying to find a way out of this chaos, but chaos plus chaos does not equal order or peace. American people are about to get what we so richly deserve. I hope I’m wrong. I’m almost praying I’m wrong but I doubt it. I want to hear these voices in a year because if I were you pregnant, I would not stop this war because a clown says he’s got a deal for me, and for my country, I fight to end my last breath and the American people told me to give up because of all the wasted lives. I would ask them if I put my gun down is my life any safer from the enemy who is trying to kill me anyway? To all you peace next out there who think that that’s the way it works have you not noticed that the Russian army is not really an army but a mob of thieves, prisoners, and murders?

The contributor said she didn’t understand what the U.S. was trying to do, but then clearly articulated what the U.S. was trying to do - provide just enough weapons to keep Ukraine in the war without providing the weapons or the strike permissions for Ukraine to possibly defeat Russia. I disagree with this policy choice, but clearly the Biden administration thought that providing overwhelming arms to Ukraine so that it could defeat Russia would potentially destabilize Russia (and thus the world) and either cause Putin’s regime to fall or to prompt Russia to use nukes in an effort to stave off defeat. Russia has preferred to fight a war of attrition after the initial push on Kyiv failed and the U.S. decided to let Russia wear itself down doing so. However, that meant that the much less populous and resourced Ukrainians would also be worn down, possibly to a breaking point. To sum up, the U.S. strategy was to make this war as costly as possible for Russia but not to put Ukraine in a position to possibly win, absent some unforeseen Russian military collapse.

We in the US are already at war with Russia. We understand the risks that such a war brings. Nevertheless, this is how kinetic warfare in the 21st century needs to be conducted. If you allow your political goals to be shaped by an unrealistic fear of nuclear war, then every nation on Earth will see the value in attaining nuclear weapons. That is an unbelievably dangerous world and one that must be avoided. What this means is pushing the conventional military hard enough to secure a victory. It means pushing the other side close enough to the abyss that they realize annihilation is their only next step, and then reaching out to pull them away from that cliff edge. When you break it down, most people want to live. They want their family and friends to live. Nuclear war makes that absolutely impossible. Only by pushing right to the edge does that proposition become clear to everyone. Given the choice, most of the citizens in Russia would prefer not to fight a nuclear war. However, only a hard-fought conventional war can create the necessary mental clarity that makes capitulation politically acceptable. We saw this during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the parallels could not be more evident. The US and Europe have no designs on Russian territory, but Russia has strong motivations to take Ukraine, just as they had strong motivations to put nuclear missiles into Cuba. Only when pushed to the edge of the abyss did their folly become clear to them. That is why we must continue to support Ukraine and push the Russian leadership back to the edge of oblivion.

This opinion is extremely naive. Putin has spoken for many years about his concept of "Russkiy Mir" (Russian World), by which he means a pan-Slavic empire that rightfully belongs to Russia, including Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, parts of Kazakhstan and the Baltic states. It also includes a sphere of influence over neighboring countries as well. What Ms. Stack seems to be assuming here, is that Trump is going to convince Putin from walking away from this vision, and his self-identity as a Russian leader in the same caliber as Peter the Great. That is wishful thinking. The danger here is that Trump negotiates a short-sighted cease fire that merely gives Russia time enough to rearm itself before it invades again in a few years.

Nothing inevitable about it. The US and western Europe each have thousands of times the real productive capacity that Russia has. (The vast majority of Russia's GDP is extractive, not productive.) If we gave even the slightest weight to our own national interests, we would force Russia to unconditional surrender. We could do so without even inconveniencing ourselves. Anyone who thinks about it knows what we have to do, and it's pretty close to what we've been doing. Russia has an end-of-the-world nuclear arsenal. The problem with such an arsenal is that it's completely useless for anything except (1) causing the end of the world, or (2) threatening to cause the end of the world. The threats can also be broken down into two categories: nuclear blackmail, and nuclear deterrence. Nuclear blackmail is the option that Putin has chosen, laying down phony red lines all over the place, that can easily be crossed. It's vulnerable to a boil-the-frog strategy. If a blackmailer's adversary pushes too hard, the blackmailer will switch to a deterrence strategy, locking in all the gains they've gotten from the blackmail approach.

This is the most ridiculous podcast I have ever heard- & I’m 70, retired, & listen to podcasts ALL day while doing my chores & hobbies. Very disappointed in this NYT opinion piece. Very short sighted view, imho.

Does this person have any experience at all? Zero intelligence here. I hope the NYT increases its publication standard so as to prevent such idiotic pieces from being published. A 5th grader could have said the same things.

David was a bad king. He raised his children to be monsters, he had his own comrade killed so he could sleep with his wife, one of David’s sons forced himself on his own sister, his other child tried to overthrow him before getting caught in some shrubbery. David’s kingdom collapsed and split apart only two generations after his rule. David was a bad king of Israel if we’re going by what is said about him in the Bible.

The US and EU can create clarity and they are not. Clarity is what is needed. But clarity does not mean to give Russia any and everything. It means to identify a just peace, that does treat the pro-Russians as human beings. While at the same time giving the rest of Ukraine a clear future in EU and NATO. And doing all of this in such a way that both Russia and Ukraine know that it's by far the best deal they can get.

"Nevertheless, I believe it is fair to say that Ukraine is losing the war." Spoken exactly like someone who hasn't been watching Ukraine hand Russia's ass to it over the past several years. Seriously, where do all these Russia-sympathizers come from?

Yiou are a woman, looking at the situation as a woman looks at things. I don't deny your voice, I just want you to be aware of what is shaping and moving you to say these things in a wondering, open ended way, like drifting on a river on a Sunday afternoon. All the time is there or not there. President Putin is a very clever man, not a woman. He thinks in clearl objects that he wants to hold and manipulate. Dreams don't concern him.
