With Trump bending to Putin and Russian aggression, it’s more important than ever to learn from the past — and fight for the future.
Team Vindman
John, it’s Alexander Vindman.
My new book, The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine, is out now and couldn't be more timely.
Recently, Trump attacked President Zelenskyy — publicly berating him for telling the truth about Russia’s war. Instead of standing with a U.S. ally, Trump humiliated him, all to cater to Putin’s agenda.
Let’s be clear: Trump isn’t just abandoning Ukraine — he’s aligning himself with a brutal dictator.
In times like this, the truth must prevail. That’s why I want you to be among the first to get a copy of my book.
Most of you know me from Trump’s first impeachment. My brother and I exposed his scheme to withhold military aid from Ukraine unless Zelenskyy investigated President Biden.
But my experience goes beyond that — I’ve spent my career in national security. I've advised top U.S. officials on Russia and Ukraine, been the director for European Affairs on the National Security Council, served as the Political-Military Affairs Officer for Russia, and served in embassies in Moscow and Kyiv.
My book highlights the overlooked history between Ukraine and Russia, lays bare the mistakes the U.S. and the West made in underestimating Putin, reveals how Western leaders enabled Putin’s aggression, and provides a path for how America can reclaim its moral leadership.
Trump continues to undermine Ukraine, cozy up to Putin, and distort history to serve his own agenda. We cannot let him distort the truth in an effort to justify his corruption.
By donating $50 today, not only will you be supporting my effort to set the record straight on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but you will also be supporting my brother’s movement to defend democracy from Trump’s authoritarian takeover.
Thank you,
Alexander Vindman
