The Floor Is Falling Out From Under Biden's Ukraine Policy

You know that President Biden's Ukraine policy is in trouble when MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show hosts panels, like one held on November 21, to discuss why the war is unwinnable, explain why Ukraine needs to change its strategy to protect the 80% of the country it controls, and encourage Ukraine to pursue a cease-fire with Russia.

As a result, many experts on the right and left have concluded that this conflict has become a stalemate and a war of attrition that Ukraine will eventually lose because Russian forces are dug in and Ukraine is running out of soldiers.

Resistance to the Biden Administration's Ukraine policy is especially strong in the House of Representatives, where many members have demanded the Biden Administration provide a clear strategy for ending the conflict and reaching a cease-fire instead of just sending weapons to Ukraine.

Regardless of whether President Biden and his congressional allies succeed in getting Congress to pass a new military aid package for Ukraine, with his media allies throwing in the towel and Congress increasingly resistant to sending weapons to a war that has become a stalemate, it will become more and more obvious next year that President Biden's Ukraine policy is not sustainable.

President Biden should get ahead of the new realities of the Ukraine War by making a major shift in his Ukraine policy.

Instead of providing weapons to Ukraine for "As long as it takes," the U.S. should pursue ways to help Ukraine "Win the peace" by pressing for a cease-fire and beginning efforts with its allies to massively arm Ukraine to protect and fortify its current borders and rebuild the country.

The Ukrainian government, its supporters, and the Biden Administration will resist such a policy shift because they are clinging to the faint hope that Ukraine can still "Win" the war and expel Russia from all of its territory.
