The White House has an obligation to explain, explicitly and officially, what we are trying to achieve in Ukraine.
While Zelensky has inspired our support and Ukraine has waged a strong defense, the war has reached a stalemate that ultimately favors Russia.
To sustain the status quo, war hawks here will doubtless push for another Ukraine supplemental appropriations bill this fall, even as our citizens have grown increasingly skeptical of America's participation.
After Zelensky rallied Ukraine's defense against the Kremlin's initial invasion, we were told Javelin missiles would alter the course of the war in Ukraine's favor.
The lack of accountability and in-depth media coverage leaves the American people in the dark about our involvement in Ukraine-as was done in prior endless wars.
In recent weeks, NATO issued an announcement from their Vilnius summit stating, "Ukraine's future is in NATO. We reaffirm the commitment we made at the 2008 Summit in Bucharest that Ukraine will become a member of NATO.".
Congress, and the American people, must be given a mission statement for America's involvement in Ukraine.
It's the only way to seriously debate our participation and ensure the American people aren't sleep-walking into another endless war.
