Retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major and Author John deVerteuil discusses how our country may have put itself in a mess trying to help Ukraine.
The Russia/Ukraine war has certainly been a costly one – particularly for the United States.
Ever since President Joe Biden has opted to support Ukraine in this battle, he has vowed to devote billions of dollars to it for the cause. In the midst of this, however, Senate negotiations to finalize a bipartisan deal to provide wartime aid for Kyiv (while taking care of our own border woes) continues to hit snags, mainly thanks to House Republicans and former President Donald Trump.
But this shows that the U.S. just doesn’t have an understanding of what kind of mess it’s in. By trying to show support for Ukraine and even promising a great deal of money and even weapons, Biden has apparently left support for his own Americans in the dust. And keep in mind, this is with a migrant crisis taking place in our country.
So what happens now? Will Biden continue to push for Ukraine support, or will he have no choice but to try and turn the tide back in America’s favor as his supposed re-election bid begins to take shape?
Joining us now to discuss this further is retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major John deVerteuil. Along with more than thirty-three years of service to his country, including 25 years as a special forces operator in the Green Beret, John recently wrote a book called We Are America: A Voice from the Silent Majority, which “offers real, sustainable solutions to our national crises, including candid discussions on debt, term limits, taxation, and immigration.” His expertise in what’s happening make him a welcome subject for this interview. Welcome, John.
Q&A:
- What do you think the big problem is with the support that the United States has pledged to Ukraine?
- Is Biden basically leaving his American citizens behind in an effort to support overseas situations with Israel and Ukraine?
- What will this mean for Biden’s potential re-election campaign? Is it over before it even begins? Or will he try to salvage it?
- Why isn’t Biden working harder on resolving the migrant crisis? It seems to be getting out of hand at this point in time.
- Based on what you’ve seen, where do you see the 2024 Presidential Election going? Is this Trump’s for the taking, or could another candidate step in?
- Tell us more about your book We Are America: A Voice from the Silent Majority, and what prompted you to write it after your many years in service.
- Where can people find your book?
- It’s available here on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback form.
