Victor Davis Hanson: Why Won’t the West Help Ukraine Win Against Russia?


Listen Later

Ukraine is back in the headlines as President Donald Trump puts forth new peace proposals to the international community.


To make sense of where the conflict currently sits and what ending the war would entail, Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the core questions behind the conflict: Why did Putin invade? Why does Russia keep fighting? Why won’t NATO fully support Ukraine? And what will it take to end the war? All on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”


“What is the dispute left about? Ukraine's not gonna be in NATO. Putin knows that. All it is, where is the DMZ? Does Putin get to push areas westward that Ukraine, Ukrainians are currently in and fighting successfully and he can't dislodge, or not? So, that's what we're gonna, that's what the dispute is over, and the security guarantees.


“If Ukraine is not in NATO, how can it defend the next invasion from Russia? Well, it's the greatest military in Europe right now. It's battle-hardened. It's got a huge army. It's well supplied. Will that continue? Will the EU or NATO continue to arm it? Will the United States back them up in extremis?”
