“A significant degradation of our ability to defend our national interest” is the result of diverting America’s military and financial stockpiles to Ukraine, one retired American officer, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, tells the Sun. “What happens if we need to fight? What happens if, God forbid, we should get into a war with China?” he asks.
The “wound” of two decades of American involvement in Afghanistan, Lieutenant Colonel Davis says, stemmed in part from unclear American policy objectives. The same myopia, he argues, is evident in America’s approach to Ukraine. “We don’t know what we’re trying to accomplish,” he says. “We’re just throwing money at Ukraine without thought to what it’s going to cost us.”
