Victor Davis Hanson: Can Trump End Russia's 'Endless War' Against Ukraine?

Nov 18, 2024 | offthepress.com | Brendan G. Carr |Paul Bedard

Trump was elected in part on promises to avoid “endless wars” of the sort that cost American blood and treasure in Afghanistan and Iraq but without resulting in strategic advantage or civilized calm. Yet as a Jacksonian, Trump also restored American deterrence through punitive strikes against ISIS and terrorist thugs like Baghdadi and Soleimani—without being bogged down in costly follow-ups.
