** Trump Can Still Help Ukraine Declare Victory Over Russia ([link removed])

* Trump's change of heart on Ukraine is not only welcome, it could prove vital to improving Ukraine's hopes of ultimately emerging victorious from the conflict, not least because Trump's recent decision to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities has demonstrated America's willingness to use its overwhelming military superiority when required.
* At the same time, the ease with which US and Israeli warplanes were able to penetrate Iran's Russian-made air defences has been a humiliating experience for the Kremlin and its claim to rival the US in terms of military capability.
* At a time when Russia's weakness has been graphically exposed on the world stage, there is a golden opportunity for the Trump administration to drive home its advantage.
* It can do this by providing Ukraine with the sophisticated weaponry it needs to win the war in Ukraine, in the knowledge that Russian missiles and air defences are simply no match for America's superior military might.
* It would seem advisable for the future of Europe and the Free World to ensure that even a charming Putin – nonetheless a KGB graduate and serial mass-murderer in Grozny, Syria, Ukraine, not to mention his invasions of Georgia and Crimea -- is not allowed to emerge from this conflict before being thoroughly defeated.

US President Donald Trump's belated realisation that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not interested in a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict could finally provide the breakthrough Kyiv desperately needs to win the war.

Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has persisted in his belief that, because of the strong personal relationship he enjoys with Putin, he could persuade the Russian despot to agree to a lasting ceasefire.

Back in February, Trump insisted that Putin was a man of honour who would abide by his undertaking to accept a ceasefire after the White House had published its own formula for ending the conflict, one that required Ukraine to accept Russia's illegal conquest of its territory.

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright could easily start assembling a Trump Manhattan Project for Nuclear Fusion Energy this week. If he did, he would no doubt find himself catapulted from stardom to superstardom, while at the same time serving his country, its global leadership and its president.

While all eyes are focused on tariffs, deportees, taxes, and the stock market of course, President Donald J. Trump's cabinet choice currently positioned to emerge as the leading member of Trump's cabinet and the MVP of the Trump Administration's Golden Age of Energy is Secretary of Energy Chris Wright.

Wright is already doing an exemplary job leading the revival of America's great asset, oil, to "Make America Great Again." By enabling lower prices, massive energy exports, and making the US not just energy-secure but energy-dominant, both he and Trump can be assured of success.

However, the greatest leap to global preeminence for the United States, and as a stunning legacy for Trump and Wright, will happen if and when they succeed in catapulting America ahead of China in the newest global race for the only energy that is clean, inexpensive, and limitless: nuclear fusion energy.
