Historian Stephen Kotkin asserts that the War on Ukraine has evolved into a war of attrition. He further asserts that two key elements to continue such a war are the ability to resupply the unceasing casualties and the depletion of military equipment and munitions backed by the willpower to continue the fight. The Ukrainians are willing to fight but the essential willpower is not Ukraine\u2019s but America\u2019s. Now some Republicans are showing an unwillingness to support Ukraine\u2019s struggle. In this podcast, the Edifice of Trust host, Victor Bolles, investigates why such unwillingness undermines America\u2019s global leadership.
