** Why Putin needs Trump to win
------------------------------------------------------------

In Ukraine, the fickle fortunes of war have turned in Russia’s favor. The invaders have seized the military initiative, while a Trumpified Republican Party has thrown in doubt both America’s commitment to a free Ukraine and our will to confront a new Russian imperialism.

For the moment, however, GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has managed to unsnag more than $60 billion ([link removed]) in long-stalled U.S. military aid that Ukraine desperately needs to defend itself against a Russian summer offensive.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently confirmed ([link removed]) Moscow’s plan to seize Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. Exploiting their advantages in manpower and missiles, willingness to take casualties and Ukraine’s dire shortage of artillery shells, Russian forces lately have made significant if costly advances ([link removed]) near Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Donetsk City.

Although I’m loathe to praise any 2020 election denier ([link removed]) , Speaker Johnson acted patriotically, if belatedly, in bringing the aid package to the House floor and passing it with Democratic help.
