Help Ukraine beat Russia

Biden and Zelensky

David French in today's NY Times:

....if Russia ultimately defeats Ukraine, Vladimir Putin will have a message for his people: Russia confronted Ukraine and NATO, and Russia won. Russian victory will have a galvanizing impact on illiberal and authoritarian movements in the West.

Western retreat from a winnable war will prove in many quarters the Russian critique of the “woke” West, that it is simply too self-indulgent, decadent and individualistic to survive and thrive.

Make no mistake, this is a winnable war. Yes, Ukraine alone cannot withstand Russia over the long term. It lacks the personnel and the industrial base. 

But American industrial output dwarfs Russia's, and our superior arms can help address the personnel gap. Better weapons can overcome the challenge of fewer people. 

America, the arsenal of democracy, has the capacity to help Ukraine win even a long fight. 

The question is whether we have the will....
