“I do think the United States, rather NATO, should provide military support to Ukraine in the form of equipment and advisors. The United States is already providing non-lethal military aid, but in the context of the ATO, I think arms and anti-terrorism advisory would be appropriate.”

“Ukraine played a critical role in supporting the U.S. in Iraq with manpower and more. Ukraine also played and plays a critical role in supporting NATO and UN peacekeeping missions all over the world. Ukraine has supported world peace. Now the USA and others should be supporting Ukraine as it seeks peace on its sovereign territory.”
