  1. I say this as a Ukrainian-American (naturalized citizen, born and raised in Kharkiv) who has a son who is fighting for Ukraine since the war started, and has a grandson and nephew that will also be fighting for Ukraine if this war doesn't end. Trump CAN NOT say how he will end the war, because it is not his war to end. He can have a desire to end the war and a plan to negotiate, but he cannot say how "he" will do it and he cannot say what "Winning" means. It was a trick question. Does winning mean "existing" and not being taken over entirely by Russia, as Harris seemed to indicate? Or does winning mean restoring to 1991 borders? I can tell you that the current Biden/Harris plan will only result in the slow death of Ukraine. Ukraine CAN NOT last another 4 years of this war...as it is now. Dribbling aid to Ukraine (the US and west have actually delivered about 1/3 of what was promised) and tying their hands on how to use that aid, will only result in the death of 10s of thousands MORE Ukrainians before Ukraine LOSES. The country is already a society of widows. THE WAR MUST END!!!! On a recent mission, my son's unit ran out of water...WATER!... 1-1/2 days into a 3 days mission. His unit of (roughly, give or take wounded and killed) 30 men has 3 men under 30 years of age. My son, now an NCO is age 31. (A good age for an NCO) There are several men waiting (hoping, if they live that long) to be discharged at the "maximum" age of SIXTY (60) years old! There are several alcoholics, two diabetics, and many with the regular ailments (and weight) of 40-60 year old men. Men under age 25 are exempt! College students are exempt! They are taking 55 year old men but not 20 year old men!?!?! The USA, or any NATO country, would REJECT all but 3 or 4 of his unit. 8 men have deserted from his unit in the last 30 days. Desertion is epidemic in the Ukrainian military (as it is in the Russian military, also). But this is what happens when a country, literally, takes men off the street with serious health issues or men in their 50s with bad knees, backs and shoulders! And keep in mind, these deserters are in their home country! They can, literally, just hitchhike or walk home. Or to a relative's home. They don't have to run away in battle. Most of the deserters wait until they get a day or two "leave" and just never come back. Or get sent for supplies to a local village and never return. Ukraine is giving 35 days of training to conscripts, and some of them are being made NCOs after 30 days of experience in the field. Half of them are dead or wounded after 30 days in the war. Most of the men who were professional soldiers, OR who volunteered at the beginning of the war, are dead or so severely wounded they cannot fight. Ukraine CAN NOT survive another four years of this. I will NOT vote for Kamala Harris.
