Many tell us what to think. I ask my readers to be skeptical. Question me and others. 
American military experts predicted Russia would overcome Ukraine in three days. Ukraine was still standing three weeks later, so they started talking about help. They blocked the sending of Polish aircraft fighters as too risky. Ukraine did not get what it needed the most, but it still pushed the Russians back. Ukraine stands despite getting too little too late, but the same military experts tell Trump that Russia is winning. Those experts forgot the lesson of Vietnam and lost the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They did not learn anything from the Israelis, who destroyed Gaza and killed 50,000 people, including all Hamas leaders, but Hamas still stands, and the Palestinians’ resolve is firm. They are experts at losing. Trump trusts them, but Ukraine should not.
