President Donald J. Trump’s meeting with top European leaders at the White House Monday is a clear signal of the scale of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s strategic disaster.
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has been long and costly. His unending lies have hurt his diplomatic credibility. His vicious attacks on civilians, kidnapping of Ukrainian children, and other manifestations of brutality have not been seen since World War II. Putin’s barbarism has brought the Western alliance back together. If anything, the West’s resolve to contain – and if necessary defeat – Russian aggression has strengthened.
President Trump’s steady leadership on the world stage has only been helped by Putin’s continued belligerence and megalomania.
