On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” new york times Columnist David Brooks said he should have been more clear about the strategy for the Ukraine-Russia war, saying “time was not on our side” because of Russia’s strategy of simply continuing the war for a long time. . Weapon systems are slow to acquire. They gave them enough to not lose, but not enough to win. ”
Mr Brooks said:[T]To be fair, in retrospect, Russia’s war strategy should have been more permanent, and it should have been more clear that it was willing to make sacrifices that would destroy most other countries. Ta. They did it in the Napoleonic Wars. They did it in World War II. They are doing it in Ukraine. And I should have made it clearer that time is not on my side. And there is no doubt that the Biden administration acquired the weapons systems too late. They gave them enough to not lose, but not enough to win. ”
He added, “But what really threatens to throw the world into chaos is a small minority of isolationists and the world’s majority, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio). And they say, “Oh. No, we need to focus on China and Asia.” Well, talk to the Chinese, talk to the Taiwanese. what are they worried about? They are worried that Ukraine will lose. So this is a gateway to chaos, and the majority of Republicans don’t care. ”
