That period when Trump was pressuring Ukraine to end the war with Russia, one of the lines he and Vance kept repeating was that Ukraine “has no cards to play” and is bound to lose. Ukraine had already been holding the line on the ground for four years, while Russian advances were measured meter by meter. Vance himself , who’s known for his anti-Ukraine stance , had at times mocked Russia for failing to achieve meaningful success on the battlefield after years of war. That’s a contradiction in itself. If Russia hasn’t secured any notable gains and has spent years fighting and taking losses for such limited territory, then how can it simultaneously be true that Ukraine has no leverage in this war? In any case, Trump and Vance have made plenty of ill-considered remarks about Ukraine , let’s leave that aside. But now, it seems those supposedly “cardless” Ukrainians have come to the Americans’ aid. The U.S. military has deployed Ukrainian counter-drone technology at Prince Sultan Air Base. This base has been targeted multiple times by drone and missile attacks during the conflict and has suffered significant damage. On top of that, Ukraine has signed security agreements with countries in the Persian Gulf. The implication is clear: they must not be fully satisfied with the American defense umbrella if they’re turning to Ukraine for assistance. The moral of the story, militarily speaking: never swallow the peach whole , pit and all.

The biggest lesson the U.S. learned from its conflict with Iran: In any potential confrontation between the United States and China, Europe and NATO will remain neutral ، if they don’t end up bending over backward to appease China.
