Why Ukraine is Winning the War and Why You Should Care

Posted on October 8, 2022 by John C. Goodman

Lightweight, highly mobile, incredibly precise weaponry, called Himars, allows Ukrainian soldiers to destroy targets 40 miles away with pinpoint accuracy. All you need to make them functional is a laptop and the coordinates of the targets.

So how do they get the coordinates? I’m afraid they come from US intelligence, just as the weapons come from the US military. And that implies a level of American involvement that most Americans are probably unaware of.

Here is the Wall Street Journal report.

So, what if Putin goes nuclear – as he is threatening? Larry Kotlikoff says the Ukrainians could respond by attacking Russian nuclear plants – thus, releasing radiation all over the country.

That would be an attack on the Russian civilian population. Tit-for-tat you might say, since Russia has been relentlessly attacking Ukrainian civilians.

However, such an attack would be impossible without American weapons and American intelligence.

Then, what’s the next level of escalation?

It’s a worrisome thought.

    Trump foreign policy people I talk are absolutely convinced that if Trump were still president, there would have been no Russian invasion of Ukraine.

      Hi John, All evidence points to Putin being a Russian agent. My guess is he has handed them classified documents. He is a traitor, pure and simple — the greatest traitor in American history. January 6th is sufficient proof. It’s time to face facts. Trump belongs where he’s headed — in jail.

    Larry:
    If I am not mistaken, Russia gained not one square inch of soil during the Trump administration.
    Here is the Brookings Institution blow-by-blow accounting of Trump v. Putin during all four years:

    Notice how different the reality is from all the rhetoric at CNN, other news outlets, and comments by Never-Trumpers.

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
