U.S. support for Ukraine against Russia is crucial. A Ukrainian victory would reduce the Russian threat, saving on defense costs and troop deployments. It would also deter China from invading Taiwan. Preserving the rules-based international order is vital, established by the U.S. since WWII. Moreover, a Ukrainian win promotes democracy globally, including in Russia and Belarus. Our democratic values are a key advantage in the 21st-century competition with China and Russia. Supporting Ukraine serves critical U.S. interests.

US assistance in the Ukraine-Russia conflict has significantly weakened a major military threat to US allies and potentially the US itself. This approach, known as "offshore balancing," allows the US to reduce spending on European defense, deploy fewer troops to NATO bases, and worry less about future European conflicts. Consequently, resources can be redirected towards domestic and global challenges.

@McFaul - Michael McFaul

"Without any direct U.S. involvement in fighting Russia, U.S. assistance has helped substantially degrade a major military threat to U.S. allies and potentially the United States itself—a strategy called “offshore balancing.” A defeated or vastly depleted Russian army will allow the United States to spend less on European defense, send fewer soldiers to NATO bases in the Baltics and Poland, worry less about being drawn into a future European war, and shift its money and attention toward other problems at home and abroad." https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/11/16/ukraine-russia-war-us-congress-aid-weapons/?tpcc=recirc_trending062921

Send ATACMs now. The psychological boost for Ukrainians, as well as the psychological blow to Russians, will be as important as the performance of the weapon on the battlefield. Perfect “deliverable” for the Biden-Zelenskyy meeting next week.
