As the Biden administration nears its conclusion, the Ukraine conflict has escalated to new and dangerous levels. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, sensing the waning support from Washington, appears to be making a last-ditch effort to strengthen his position in anticipation of a change in U.S. leadership. With Donald Trump’s “America First” platform resonating with millions of voters, it’s clear that the days of endless blank checks to Ukraine are numbered.

President Trump has promised to put an end to this senseless conflict. In the wake of his victory, President Putin extended a message of readiness to negotiate peace—a sentiment echoed by those eager for stability and diplomacy. However, sources suggest that Zelensky has launched an aggressive campaign aimed at capturing Russian territory, betting that land will serve as leverage in future negotiations. His strategy appears reckless and desperate, prioritizing territorial gains over human lives.

In the coming weeks, we can expect a bloodbath—a tragic result of leadership that prioritizes aggression over diplomacy. President Biden’s greenlighting of long-range missiles is a stark reminder of his administration’s failed foreign policy. Zelensky, emboldened by the unchecked flow of U.S. resources, reportedly stated, “They cannot force us to negotiate,” signaling a dangerous disregard for American interests and global stability.

This escalation highlights the urgent need for change. Only President-elect Donald J. Trump can provide the leadership necessary to prevent the use of these missiles from spiraling into a global catastrophe. His direct and pragmatic approach to diplomacy offers the best chance to rein in Zelensky’s recklessness and avoid World War III.

The American people voted for a leader who prioritizes America’s interests, rejects endless wars, and champions peace through strength. It’s time to hold our leaders accountable and demand an end to the Biden administration’s dangerous policies.
