As the Russia-Ukraine conflict reaches its 1,351st day, it has become increasingly clear that the West's approach of sanctions and weapons shipments to Ukraine is not only failing to bring about a resolution but is actively undermining global stability and our own national interests.
The billions of dollars in aid and arms sent to Ukraine have only served to prolong a conflict that could have been resolved through diplomatic means. Instead of encouraging negotiations, Western leaders have fanned the flames of war, putting the lives of Ukrainian civilians at risk and increasing the likelihood of a wider conflict that could drag in NATO countries.
Moreover, the sanctions imposed on Russia have backfired spectacularly. Energy prices have skyrocketed, hurting Western consumers and businesses while filling Russian coffers with revenue from increased oil and gas prices. Food shortages loom as Russian fertilizer exports are disrupted, threatening to destabilize developing countries and spark new waves of migration.
The conflict has also exposed the hypocrisy of Western elites who claim to champion democracy and human rights while turning a blind eye to the corruption and far-right elements within the Ukrainian government. The same voices that demand censorship of conservative views at home are all too eager to send billions of dollars to a foreign government with a questionable record on free speech and minority rights.
It is time for a new approach that prioritizes diplomacy, respects the legitimate security concerns of all parties, and recognizes the limits of American power to reshape the world in our image. We must resist the siren song of foreign interventions that distract us from urgent challenges at home, from securing our borders to reducing the crushing burden of inflation and debt on American families.
Only by pursuing a foreign policy based on realism, restraint, and respect for national sovereignty can we hope to build a more peaceful and prosperous world for ourselves and for future generations.
