I’m seeing posts attacking the President’s decision to arm Ukraine - claiming they “didn’t vote for this.” Well, I did. I voted for strong American leadership. I voted for peace through strength. Supplying weapons to Ukraine isn’t charity, it’s strategy. And yes, it’s exactly what an America First President does. Here are just some of the ways:
1. Countering Russia Protects American Security: Russia’s aggression in Ukraine threatens the stability of Europe, a key ally and trading partner. A stronger Russia emboldened by victory could destabilize NATO, forcing the U.S. to spend more on defense or risk direct confrontation later. By arming Ukraine, the U.S. weakens Russia’s military and economy - sanctions and battlefield losses have already strained Moscow -without risking American lives. This preserves U.S. strength and deters future threats. Nothing screams "America First" louder than winning without fighting.
2. Boosting the U.S. Economy: Military aid to Ukraine fuels American industry. Most aid is spent on U.S.-made weapons, like patriot missiles, creating jobs in defense manufacturing. For example, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have ramped up production, employing thousands. This stimulates the economy while replenishing U.S. stockpiles with newer systems, enhancing readiness - all while Ukraine bears the cost of fighting. Relatedly, the cost is a fraction of the alternative. U.S. aid to Ukraine - about $75 billion since 2022 - is less than 5% of annual defense spending. (I'll WRITE MORE ON THIS NUMBER LATER).
Compare that to the trillions spent on direct interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, with thousands of American lives lost. Ukraine fights its own war, asking only for tools, not troops. This is strategic outsourcing at its finest: maximum impact, minimal risk.
