An agreement that if Ukraine ever attacks Russia, we come to Ukraine’s defense with extreme prejudice?

Great idea, wonder why nobody else thought of it?

I get what you are saying. It sounds very Hawkish.

But in my opinion, M.A.D. deturrence works.

We were too squeamish about Ukraine before the war, and even during the start of the war. It’s basically like sending an invitation. Including all that handwringing about whether to send F16s and all that.

I think the Trump doctrine is not to equivocate. Send a strong, clear message. It makes geopolitics a lot less foggy when you draw clear lines and have proven you will protect those lines.
