Long Island Republicans didn't vote for a president who would manage threats. They voted for one who would end them.

My new op-ed on Long Island Patch breaks down why what's unfolding with Iran is not the beginning of a war — it's the final chapter of a 47-year conflict that started in 1979. Peace through strength isn't a slogan. It's a doctrine with a documented history.

Russia must withdraw all its troops from Ukraine. Peace begins with ending the occupation. If Ukraine is to defend its sovereignty, it must be given the tools to do so. Freedom cannot stand empty-handed. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #Russia #EuropeanSecurity #DefendDemocracy #PeaceThroughStrength

America didn’t become great by breaking the world.
It became great by stabilizing it.
From 1945 to today, the US built the longest era of major-power peace in human history.
Tearing that down won’t make America great again.
It will make the world violent again —
including for Americans.

Real sovereignty is not shouting “America First.”
Real sovereignty is controlling supply chains, alliances, credibility, and deterrence.
When America abandons treaties and humiliates partners,
it gives China and Russia free strategic victories.
That is not strength.
That is self-sabotage.

America didn’t become great by breaking the world.
It became great by stabilizing it.
From 1945 to today, the US built the longest era of major-power peace in human history.
That legacy is real.
It matters.
And it is being casually dismantled.
You deserve leaders who protect what your grandparents built.
Not leaders who gamble it for applause.

Japan’s prime minister Sanae Takaichi "caused the row by signaling her country’s willingness to defend #Taiwan in the event of Chinese military action. #China, which regards the island democracy as its territory, responded by curtailing trade and tourism to #Japan. But the economic costs have not dented her popularity among Japan’s voters. If anything, they have increased her appeal as a conservative strong on defense":

Spat With China Becomes an Asset for Japan’s New Leader

Japan’s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, is not backing off from comments about Taiwan that enraged China. Many of Japan’s voters like her stance.

The New York Times

This week, Ukraine bombed the Shatura TPP, one of Moscow’s largest power stations.

Garry Kasparov described this as "the Ukrainian peace plan."

GOP @repbrianfitz on Dead🐦 7 hrs ago, correcting a sanitized WSJ headline:

Correction: The United States wants Russia’s answer on an unconditional withdrawal of Ukraine by Thursday.

This Russian-drafted propaganda must be rejected and disregarded for the unserious nonsense that it is. This moment requires Peace Through Strength, not appeasement.
