To be clear, following the Vietnam play book to get out of Ukraine is not a good thing. In this free essay on Substack, Warwick Powell, explains with irrefutable evidence from The Pentagon Papers how politics won out over people’s lives when we lost in Vietnam. We’re losing or have lost in Ukraine (that’s my sense as well as Dr. Powell’s) and we’re following the same play book to get out of there. Here’s the link to the article; “From Kabul to Kiev- The Decent Interval, 2025 Edition.” This is sad, tragic, frustrating and just plain makes me mad. Somewhere out there must be a politician who will tell us hard things we need to hear even if it costs them their job. I’ll vote for them for President.
