Beau says:
Russia's Black Sea Fleet withdraws from Crimea as Ukraine, without a strong Navy, achieves the impossible, while DC analysts and politicians disrupt aid, risking foreign policy success.
Foreign policy advocates
The emotional intensity and urgency conveyed by Beau in urging support for Ukraine's foreign policy success.

Well, howdy there, internet people.
It's Bo again.
So today we're going to talk about Ukraine and Russia and
the attitudes that are shaping up in DC and the Black Sea
fleet, because something really interesting happened.
And it is something that's definitely worth noting and
should help shape policy. Russia's Black Sea Fleet was stationed in Crimea, occupied Ukraine.
It's had to withdraw. It had to withdraw. Ukraine, a country without a Navy to speak
of early, defeated the Black Sea Fleet. They had to withdraw. They forced a
withdrawal. They've got it bottled up on the other side of the Kerch Bridge back
in Russia. This was done by a country that really doesn't have a Navy. Not
Not really.
Not one that can match it.
By any real standard, really any analysis, this never should have happened.
Just like the advance never should have been stopped.
Just like Ukraine shouldn't be making gains.
But all of that happened.
And right now, in DC, you have a whole bunch of people talking about how long it's taking.
I would remind everybody that it never should have lasted this long.
Those same analysts that are feeding the idea that, well, we just can't keep up, they're
just not going to be able to do it because they didn't do it on our timetable.
They were the same people that had the timetable of the Capitol falling in two weeks.
A country without a Navy to speak of forced the withdrawal of the Black Sea Fleet.
It's one of those moments where maybe those who say something is impossible shouldn't
interrupt those people doing it. There are a bunch of politicians right now,
many of whom have leaned into far-right rhetoric, that authoritarian rhetoric.
Therefore, if Russia loses, well it looks bad. It looks bad on them because that's
what they bought into. So they're doing everything they can to disrupt the aid.
There is not a single person who has ever gotten a foreign policy briefing
who doesn't understand how much of a win this is on the foreign policy scene for
the United States. If they say they don't get it, they say well I don't know what's
in it for the United States, they're lying.
Their rhetoric, what they have pushed, how we need this ultra-masculine military like
Russia has, that's what it's about.
They're willing to undermine a force that has done the impossible over and over and
over again for a Twitter talking point.
If the United States and the West in general does not continue to support Ukraine's efforts,
the West will regret it.
The West will regret it.
This is one of those moments where those people who actually understand foreign policy need
to be out there screaming and explaining what the consequences of not failing because it's
It's not failure of abandoning a force that has done the impossible over and over again.
The United States has a lot of division within its political parties and that's been around
for a long time. But generally speaking, most times, those who had diverging views, they
all wanted the U.S. to succeed on the international stage. Those people who are now doing everything
they can to disrupt this aid, they want to see failure.
Because it will make them look good on Twitter.
Anyway, it's just a thought, y'all have a good day.
