Editor's Note:
TIPP Insights publishes a range of perspectives, even ones we fundamentally reject. The Editorial Board strongly disagrees with Carl Bildt’s framing of President Trump’s efforts in Ukraine. Trump is working to end a brutal conflict that the foreign policy elite—cheered on by Bildt—have prolonged under the hollow banner of an “as long as it takes” war. Europe, for all its sanctimony, has offered no viable path to peace. While millions suffer and die, the globalist class offers only lectures. We share this piece so readers can see how deeply out of touch the establishment remains.
