Trump: giving Ukraine Patriot Missile license is 'cool.' No it's not.
GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Responsible Statecraft
President Donald Trump said this morning from the NATO Summit that the U.S. will give Ukraine the licenses to build America’s prestige Patriot Missile systems in Kyiv. "We're going to give a license to you to make Patriots. That's pretty cool. This way, you can't complain that we're not giving 'em enough," Trump said at a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.No, it's not "cool." It's foolish and a weak way of looking magnanimous when you know a) the Ukrainians will not be able to build them in time to make any difference and b) the war with Russia will never be won on the battle
